The Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission (ANSIEC) has reaffirmed that the August 29, 2026 local government election will be held as scheduled across the state.
Anthony Chinedu, ANSIEC commissioner for Information and Publicity, said in Awka that preparations were progressing smoothly, with staff deployed to various assignments to ensure a credible and hitch-free exercise.
Nnalue expressed concern over the low level of campaign activities by political parties despite the commission having lifted restrictions on electioneering several weeks ago.
He, however, attributed the situation partly to economic factors.
