Mark your calendars, Bauchi — the local government elections are officially on the horizon, and the countdown has begun.
So, here’s the gist, as reported by cbinews.tv: The Bauchi State Independent Electoral Commission (BASIEC) has just dropped the mandatory 60-day notice for the upcoming local government council elections. The big day? August 17, 2026, right across Bauchi State.
In a statement signed by the commission’s Secretary, Nuru Abdulhamid, and shared with journalists in Bauchi, BASIEC explained that this notice is all about playing by the rules. The Bauchi State Electoral Law says they’ve got to formally give political parties, stakeholders, and the public a heads-up before LG polls — and that’s exactly what they’ve done.
Now, this isn’t the first notice. BASIEC actually issued a 360-day notice back in August 2025 to give everyone plenty of time to get their house in order. But this 60-day reminder means we’re now in the final stretch.
The commission is calling on all political parties planning to contest to wrap up their internal arrangements and make sure they’re fully compliant with the Electoral Law and BASIEC’s guidelines. No last-minute rush, please.
As for the nitty-gritty — think election timetable, procedures, and all that — BASIEC says more details will be released soon.
And yes, they’ve doubled down on their promise: a free, fair, transparent, and credible election that truly reflects what the people of Bauchi State want.
