District assembly and unit committtee elections in Lower Manya postponed

Citi News has gathered that the assembly and unit committee elections in Lower Manya in the Eastern region have been cancelled and postponed to a later date yet to be communicated.

According to Citi News sources, the cancellation was a result of inadequate ballot papers.

Meanwhile, voting is currently underway across the country in other Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to elect assembly members and unit committee members.
