The Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) is facing uncertainty following the resignation of multiple commissioners, raising doubts about its ability to conduct the scheduled August 2025 Local Government Elections.
By law, RSIEC must be fully constituted to function effectively. With these resignations, the commission may no longer meet the legal requirements necessary to oversee the electoral process, potentially stalling the elections.
This development has reignited debates over the future of local government administration in Rivers State, as stakeholders express concerns about the possible implications of a delayed or disrupted election.
