State Chairman of IPAC, Latep Dabang made this known while speaking with newsmen after an emergency meeting of all Political parties in the state  .

He said “we the Political parties in Plateau State after our deliberation have welcomed the decision of PLASIEC to postpone the local government elections to a latter date as a result of security . 

“Security is very key in every election ” it would  be politically unwise to conduct an election that could throw the state into the dark days of conflict   taking into cognisance the peace that the state has been enjoying fragile peace  especially during this Simon Lalong-led administration.

“It is our resolve that we wait patiently for PLASIEC  to announce another date for the election”
