“We’ve made contingency plan to ensure nobody is disenfranchised. We are prepared to have the election at the IDPs camps if there is any reason which will warrant us not conducting it at the local governments,” he said.

He noted that 16 political parties have signified the intention to participate in the election and that provision had been made for the procurement of personal protectives for electoral officers as measure against the spread of COVID-19.
