The air was thick with suspense, as voters from all corners of life gathered on the required polling stations. The queue was through the streets, a testament to the community's eagerness to shape their future. ![IMG_20241007_141146.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTt1w2ftNmZR37jczZmbNkepRonHW6cCvcAzKVCoZA7kk/IMG_20241007_141146.jpg) As the day unfolded, the village was changed into a vibrant hub of activity. Campaign posters and also banners, once pasted on walls and buildings, now gave way to diciplined electoral officials, clipboard-wielding volunteers, and worried candidates. The noise of generators, the chatter of voters, and the different burst of music created a discord which echoed through the village. Late that afternoon, the polls had already closed, and the counting had begun. The tension was physical as officials carefully tallied the votes, their faces a picture of concentration. The crowd outside waited with deep breath, their whispers and also murmurs a testament to the collective anxiety. #### And then, the announcement: A member of our community, a committed and passionate individual, had won victoriously. Cheers erupted, followed by jubilant chants and also congratulatory hugs. The winner's supporters, clad in colorful campaign attire, danced through the streets, their joy infectious. ![IMG_20241008_183535.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNgp9Qu9SmtVzCXYjEZqPXNvBzY7usXwfuwYJ68U1TYCY/IMG_20241008_183535.jpg) Fast-forward to Monday morning, when the village square was once again filled with joy. This time, it was special which was for the swearing-in ceremony of the newly elected councillor. The atmosphere was joyful, with community leaders, political leaders of Ifa clan, dignitaries, and villagers gathering to witness the historic moment. As the dignitaries took their seats, the village chairman welcomed the gathering, his voice filled with total pride. The elected councillor, resplendent in suit, stepped forward, followed by family members and supporters. With the oath of office administered, the councillor's hand trembled a little as they signed the official documents. ![IMG_20241008_183638.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXFu4KYcoMGLsSuvUSVV6U8bEVq5W78gdEVqnxRz79ipS/IMG_20241008_183638.jpg) ###### Here is the political leaders of my community The crowd erupted into applause as the councillor took the microphone, their voice trembling with emotion.
