The state government had scheduled September 21 for the conduct of the council polls.
But Ekeh, who is also the state chairman of Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), alleged that ISIEC failed to comply with some of the 2024 Local Government elections guideline of the state.
“We have been following the process but in recent times, it appears that the commission has derailed from the election guideline.
“We expected that candidates would have been given forms to fill and return same for validation, but four days to the election, names of candidates and voters have not been published.

“Page 9, paragraph 5 (8) of the guideline, says that all nomination forms shall be delivered at the place or places appointed by the commission at least 20 days before the date of the election.
“Today is September 17, which is four days to the election, nothing has been done,” he said.
