Rivers LG election in photos

After months of expectation, local government elections are underway across the 23 local government areas of Rivers State.

Today’s exercise is being conducted by the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), which is responsible for organising council polls across the state’s 23 LGAs, 319 wards and 4,442 polling units.

This comes six months after the Supreme Court annulled the October 2024 council election in the state over violations of the Electoral Act.
