A statement signed by the chairman of the Commission, Prof Christian Ngwu said the electoral guidelines for the conduct of the local council polls are obtainable at the commission’s headquarters in Enugu.

“The Enugu State Independent Electoral commission wishes to inform all registered political parties and the general public that local government elections in the State will be held on Saturday, October 5th, 2024
