INEC Announces Readiness For Anambra Gubernatorial Election
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that it is prepared and ready to conduct the November 18 governorship election in Anambra State.
The state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner, Nkwachukwu Orji, who gave the assurance in Awka on Tuesday at a stakeholders’ forum on ward level voters’ registration exercise, also promised a transparent, free, fair and credible election in the state.
“We are committed to providing a level playing ground for all candidates and political parties. I like to state with confidence that we are ready for the November 2017 Anambra state governorship election,” he said.
Orji added that a total number of 79, 700 eligible voters were registered during the first phase of the nationwide Continuous Voter Registration exercise, adding that the number skyrocketed to 2,042,548 between July 24 – 28 July, 2017.
According to the INEC boss, the commission has approved the devolution of the voter’s registration exercise to the ward level to ensure all eligible persons in the state are registered before the governorship election.
“This is a unique exercise since the Continuous Voter Registration exercise in other states takes place at the local government Area levels.
“Therefore, from Thursday 10 August to Tuesday, 15, INEC would be at designated centres in all the 326 wards in Anambra state to conduct this important exercise,” he added.
