Gov. Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State on Sunday at a state PDP zonal meeting said the state’s Local Government elections would be conducted in the first quarter of 2014.

He said the elections date would be announced in January for the political parties to begin preparations and that all the materials needed for the exercise were on ground.

The 34 local governments in the state are being managed by caretaker committees as a result of the expiration of the tenure of elected council officials early in 2011.

The governor called on PDP supporters to come out en mass during the elections to vote for the party’s candidates.

On the defection from the party to APC by some members, Shema said "most of such people are not original PDP members. Now, they have joined the group they belong to’’.

He, however, admitted that the party was facing challenges.

“But we have been able to identify those challenges. By identifying the problem itself, it means half of the challenges facing us as a party have been solved,’’ the governor said.
