The Independent Electoral Commission will conduct by-election in three wards today, Wednesday.
As
usual, polls open at the three wards: Old Jeshwang, Tallinding and Galleh, at
8am and close at 5pm.
“Latrikunda
Upper Basic School will be used as the collation centre for Old Jeshwang and
Tallinding wards,” the IEC said a statement issued yesterday.
“The
Methodist Lower Basic School in Janjanbureh will be used for Galleh Ward.”
The
by-election is necessitated by the resignation of the erstwhile councillors of
the three wards who resigned to enable them contest in the recent National
Assembly election.
The
general, nationwide, local government election is scheduled for 12 April 2018,
to complete the country’s full election cycle which began with the 2016 vote
for the presidency.
