It would be recalled that the OYSIEC had earlier suspended the election in the local government area following the missing of logo of Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) on ballot paper.
Addressing journalists at the OYSIEC premises, Chairman of the Commission, Isiaka Olagunju, who expressed his regret for the omission of ZLP logo on the ballot paper, said the Commission had decided to conduct election in Ido Local Government tomorrow (Sunday 23rd May, 2021 ) between 8am and 3pm.
Olagunju said the commission had contacted the ballot paper contractor who promised to deliver the ballot paper today so that the election could go on as planned tomorrow.
He appealed to the general public, especially the residents of Ido Local Government Area to remain calm as OYSIEC’s promise to be transparent is intact, regretting the inconvenience it might have caused them.
Meanwhile, unverified report says that ZLP in Ido Local Government has rejected tomorrow as the new day for the conduct of the election, saying that it is too close.
