The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) has scheduled August 9, 2025, for fresh Local Government Council elections in the state.
The chairman of the Commission, Retd Justice Adolphus Enebeli, announced the date during a stakeholders’ meeting and the official unveiling of the 2025 Local Government Elections timetable and guidelines at the Commission’s headquarters on Aba Road, Port Harcourt, on Wednesday.
The Supreme Court on Friday nullified the October 5, 2024, council election in Rivers State over non-compliance with the Electoral Act, 2022.
Justice Enebeli reaffirmed RSIEC’s commitment to conducting a free, fair, credible and impartial election, urging political parties to adhere to the rules.
