The Delta State Independent Electoral Commission, DSIEC has released guidelines for creation of more Electoral Wards across the state.

In a statement, DSIEC, Director, Public Affairs and Communications, Mr Arubi Orugboh said the decision of the Commission was in line with the powers conferred on it by the law, saying that the Commission is constitutionally empowered to embark on review of electoral Wards after every ten years.

Orugboh further disclosed that the last ward delineation exercise in the state took place in 2004, stressing that since then, the Commission had been inundated with a myriad of requests from communities and political stakeholders, some of whom have alleged that they have been politically marginalized during the previous exercise.
