Prof. Attahiru Jega of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has deployed three National Commissioners and three Resident Electoral Commissioners to conduct today’s supplementary elections in Abia State.
The Head, Voter Education and Publicity of INEC in Abia State, Edwin Enabor, told journalists that the six officials were being expected in Umuahia yesterday.
Quick News Africa gathered that their mission is to ensure that the supplementary poll, holding in 299 polling units across nine local governments, was conducted in a free, fair atmosphere.
The officials are also expected to prevent a re-occurrence of the circumstances which led to withholding of results of the governorship elections conducted in the state on April 11, 2015.
Also, necessary arrangements have been put in place as INEC had assured that all was set for the rerun.
