Accordingly nominations for the District Assembly Elections would be

Nominations for the Unit Committee Elections would be taken on Monday

According to the statement nominations would be taken from 0800 hours
to 1200 noon and 1300 hours to 1700 hours each day.
The statement said nomination forms may be obtained at the District
Office of the Commission or from the Deputy Returning Officers

"All interested and qualified persons who want to contest any of the
elections are to take note and act accordingly," the statement said.
