The wife of the Governor urged the people, especially women to be patient, remain calm and exercise their franchise as the conduct of the local council poll will bring development to them at the grassroots.
An election observer also commended the State Independent Electoral Commission (ZASIEC) for the smooth conduct of the poll, saying that it was designed to promote democracy.
There was a low turnout of voters for the election and out of the eighteen political parties, the All Progressives Congress (APC), did not participate in the election.
