The upcoming local government elections in Oyo State have drawn attention from 18 registered political parties.

Isiaka Olagunju, the chairman of the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC), made this announcement on Sunday in Ibadan.

OYSIEC declared that it was prepared to hold the local government election in April of next year, according to OBASANJO NEWS24.

18 registered political parties have expressed interest in taking part in the election, according to the commission.

Olagunju commended the political parties for conducting their primaries in an orderly manner.

According to him, 18 of the State’s officially recognised political parties have expressed interest in running in the upcoming election.

“We tried our best during the 2021 local government council elections, but there is always space for improvement.

“Things are getting better; the commission recently witnessed certain political parties’ primaries, which was different from the past in that the process went smoothly.

“This is the attitude I want all the political parties and voters to have so that the election can be credible and peaceful.”
