The Chairman of the Kwara State Independent Electoral Commission, Muhammad Baba-Okanla, has presented certificates of return to the newly elected chairmen and vice-chairmen in the state.
During the ceremony on Sunday, Baba-Okanla emphasized that the electoral process adhered to established guidelines from start to finish.
He praised the peaceful and orderly conduct of the poll, according to Nigerian Tribune.
The KWASIEC chairman noted that the declaration of winners reflected the electorate’s deliberate choice of their preferred candidates.
This follows Saturday’s local government elections, where the ruling All Progressives Congress secured victories in all chairmanship and councillorship positions.
Baba-Okanla’s presentation of certificates formalizes the elected officials’ mandates, paving the way for them to assume office.
The APC’s sweep of the local government elections solidifies its dominance in Kwara State politics.
