The Anambra State local government council elections scheduled for the 5th of October, has been postponed to December 14, 2013.
Acting chairman of the state of the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission (ANSIEC), Chief Sylvester Okonkwo, announced the postponement on Tuesday in Awka, at a meeting with the leadership of various political parties in the state.
He stated that the postponement was necessitated by various variables which, he said, include the refusal of political parties to submit lists of their candidates for the election.
Political parties whose leaders were present at the meeting include All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Congress (APC), Social Democratic Party (SDP), Accord Party, KOWA Party, Action Alliance (AA), among many others.
