The Chairman of the Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, stated this on Thursday when he appeared before the joint Senate and House of Representatives Committee on Electoral Matters over preparations for the upcoming governorship elections in Edo and Ondo States.


According to him, INEC has the capacity to handle the local government elections but that would only be possible pending when the law is amended to permit it to do so.


He explained that the Commission had been conducting area council elections in the Federal Capital Territory which has been devoid of the problems associated with the conduct of local government elections in the states.


He also pointed out some advantages of INEC handling LG elections to include regular elections as at when due, stability of tenure. He also noted that there has never been a LG caretaker committee in the FCT.


Yakubu further noted that there has never been a time one political party has won all the seats in the FCT as is common in the states.


According to him, if INEC handles the election, it would be better for democracy.


He, however, said this can only happen if the Constitution is amended to take the responsibility away from state electoral commissions.
