The Election Commission states that the local government elections will be held in the next six months.
The term of office of the local government bodies is going to end on the 20th of next March.
The Election Commission also stated that the Election Commission will be empowered to conduct local government elections six months before the end of the official term.
Accordingly, the Election Commission states that the local government elections will be held within 6 months from September 20th to March 20th next year.
Although the official period of the local government bodies was supposed to end on the 20th of last March, with the intervention of the minister in charge of the local government subject, he took steps to extend it for a period of one year.
But the Election Commission says that the local government election will definitely be held in six months as the minister in charge of the subject no longer has the power to extend the official tenure of those institutions.
