Lagos announces date for 2025 local government election
LASIEC says the Lagos LG election will include 20 Local Governments, 37 LCDAs, and 376 wards.
The Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC) has scheduled the state council election for July 12. Tope Ojo, LASIEC’s head of public affairs, made this announcement on Friday in Lagos. He said the election for 57 council chairmanship positions and 376 councillor seats will take place on 12 July. If necessary, a re-run will occur on 19 July. Lagos State comprises 20 Local Governments and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs).
The election date was chosen to avoid a leadership vacuum in the state’s councils. LASIEC’s notice confirmed that the election will include 20 Local Governments, 37 LCDAs, and 376 wards. With the current local government administration nearing its end, LASIEC has ramped up efforts for a smooth election process. The commission has officially launched the electoral process with the release of the Notice of Election.
Political parties must visit the LASIEC headquarters to obtain nomination forms for their candidates.
