The Osun Independent Electoral Commission (OSIEC) said recently that the local government election in the state would take place on Jan. 27, 2018.
The Chairman of OSIEC, Segun Oladitan, announced this at a press conference in Osogbo.
Oladitan said the date was picked after deliberations with all political parties taking part in the election.
He said nomination forms would be issued free to candidates contesting in the election.
Oladitan, however, said that political parties contesting in the election would be required to pay a yet to be determined amount as administrative charges.
He described the election as one of its kind as it was restricted to only candidates vying for councillorship seats in the local councils.
