He explained that “there have been several challenges facing the constitution of the commission. Some people went to court when the names of members of the commission were sent to the House of Assembly. Thank God, we have settled these issues and the commission is in place. I want to assure you that the local government elections will soon take place as the commission is working out modalities for its successful conduct.”
