The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has commenced the distribution of sensitive election materials to various local government areas across Anambra State ahead of Saturday’s governorship election.
The exercise, which began on Thursday at the INEC headquarters in Awka, is being carried out under tight security supervision.
Anambra Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Queen Agwu, led the process alongside Abayomi Shogunle, the Commissioner of Police in charge of election duty, who assured that security agencies are fully prepared to secure both land and riverine communities during the polls.
INEC earlier confirmed that 2,802,790 registered voters are expected to cast their ballots across 5,718 polling units spread across the state’s 21 local government areas.
The commission added that voting will not take place in two polling units due to the absence of registered voters.
A total of 16 candidates will contest the election, including incumbent Governor Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Nicholas Ukachukwu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Paul Chukwuma of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), George Moghalu of the Labour Party (LP), and Jude Ezenwafor of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), among others.
