COVID 19

He said protocols such as the wearing of nose mask, hand washing, physical distancing, and others will be part of the LPG campaign.

According to him, the problems posed by the COVID 19 have allowed LPG to employ digital and virtual campaigning to aid in propagating the good news of the LPG to the general public including digital ways like WhatsApp, internet, Twitter, Facebook.etc.

NEW REGISTER

The LPG says it will welcome the electoral commission's indication to compile a new biometric voters registration system (BVRS) for the conduct of this year's elections scheduled for December 7.
