The Election Commission today informed the Supreme Court its effort to organize and conduct the Local Government elections has been obstructed since the required funds for the elections are not provided by the Secretary to the Treasury.

 

Filing a motion before Supreme Court, the Election Commission said due to the failure of the Secretary to the Treasury to provide necessary funds for the election and the failure on part of the Government Printer to release the ballot papers for the Election, it is unable to conform with the undertaking given to the Supreme Court.
