GIZO

PEOPLE of Western and Choiseul are concerned over the delay in the election dates for the Western and Choiseul provinces.

They have calling on the national government and the electoral commission to set dates for the provinces’ elections.

Island Sun understands that rumours are circulating in Gizo speculating various dates, and intending candidates are beginning their campaigning games in their wards.

A Mr Willie from Gizo said “It has been delay and nothing has been heard on at the top level for not quickly set the election date.

“While the calling of Western and Choiseul Provincial election is partly a matter of political judgment and timing.

“We are calling on constitutional and legislative framework who governs the electoral timetable and process to quickly officially set the final election date for people of Western and Choiseul.”
