The State Election Commission has officially notified the new ward boundaries for eleven municipal councils across the country, aiming to streamline local governance.
The State Election Commission (SEC) issued a formal notification today detailing the revised ward boundaries for eleven municipal councils. The move comes after a comprehensive review of population data, urban growth patterns, and existing administrative limits.
Under the new delimitation, each council will see its wards re‑mapped to ensure more equitable representation, with adjustments made to balance voter distribution and improve service delivery. The SEC emphasized that the changes are based on the latest census figures and follow statutory guidelines.
Local officials have been instructed to update electoral rolls and inform residents of the new ward configurations ahead of the next municipal elections. The commission also announced a public awareness campaign to help citizens understand the impact of the changes on voting precincts.
Stakeholders, including political parties and civil society groups, have been invited to submit any objections or suggestions within a stipulated period, after which the final ward map will be published and implemented.
