The Kano State Independent Electoral Commission, KANSIEC, has said it is ready to recruit more than 44,222 ad-hoc staff to conduct the local government elections scheduled for November 30, 2024.
In a statement signed by the Secretary of the Commission, Anas Muhammad Mustapha, he stated that these ad-hoc workers will be carefully selected, trained, and provided with adequate tools to manage the election process across the 44 Local Government Areas of the State, and 44, 222 polling units.
He added that “about 6 million voters in the state are expected to vote”.
The announcement was confirmed by the Chairman of the Commission, Professor Sani Lawan Malumfashi, who said that they are making preparations to ensure the success of the exercise.
“We have already released the election guidelines and election timetable to share to candidates, political parties and voters and gave them enough time to prepare,” said Professor Malumfashi.
He emphasized that the success of the commission in conducting elections in a safe and peaceful manner will depend on the cooperation of all stakeholders including political parties, media, security agencies, and the government.
Answering questions about the cost of the nomination form, Professor Malumfashi explained the present economic challenges as the main reason, where he said, “the removal of fuel subsidy has caused the cost of living, which also affects the people and the cost of election materials.”
Professor Malumfashi also assured the public that neither he nor his commissioners will accept any form of bribes or monetary inducements, promising to expose anyone who tries to undermine the integrity of the commission.
