Rivers State conducts local government elections, mostly peaceful despite delays and low turnout.

Rivers State held local government elections, described as largely peaceful and orderly by Administrator Ibok-Ete Ibas. Despite some delays in voting materials and low voter turnout, the elections proceeded in 23 local government areas. The Supreme Court had nullified previous elections, and this new round faces skepticism from some political groups. However, the RSIEC and security forces ensured a mostly smooth process, with high hopes for credible results and renewed grassroots governance.
