The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
adjusted the voting timeline for the Tuesday supplementary election in Ihiala
Local Government of Anambra, to conclude the governorship election in the
state.
INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and
Voter Education Committee, Mr Festus Okoye, disclosed this in a statement
issued on Monday in Abuja.
Recall that INEC had scheduled the supplementary election,
following the suspension of collation of the governorship election results, as
announced on Sunday by the state Collation/Returning Officer, Prof. Florence
Obi.
However, Okoye said that the slight adjustment for the
commencement and closing time for the said election was made in line with the
commission’s extant rules and regulations.
He said that voting in respect of the supplementary election
for Ihiala council area would commence on Tuesday at 10 am. and end at 4 pm.
“This decision, which will be strictly complied with, has
been taken, following a careful review of the prevailing situation in Anambra
state and is being widely shared with the stakeholders, including security
agencies.
“We urge political parties, voters, election duty officials,
election observers, the media and the general public to note this slight
modification.
“We also appeal to citizens to conduct themselves in an
orderly manner to ensure that the election is brought to a peaceful
conclusion,” NAN quoted him as saying.
