Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Joash Amupitan, has reaffirmed the commission’s total readiness for the Anambra State Governorship Election scheduled for Saturday, 8th November, 2025.
The INEC Chair assured citizens and stakeholders of a
peaceful, transparent, and credible process.
Professor Amupitan gave the assurance during a high-level
inspection visit to the Commission’s state office in Awka, ahead of the
Stakeholders’ Meeting coming up on Monday, 3rd November 2025.
“Our responsibility is to the people of this nation. We are
fully prepared to deliver an election that is fair, credible, and reflective of
the people’s will,” Prof. Amupitan stated.
He urged all stakeholders to work together in support of a
seamless process.
The chairman also cautioned against what he described as
“attempts by vested interests to discredit the process,” stressing that INEC
remained focused and undeterred in the discharge of its constitutional mandate.
Providing an operational update, the Resident Electoral
Commissioner, REC, for Anambra State, Dr. Elizabeth Agwu, confirmed that all
non-sensitive materials had been distributed to the 21 Local Government Areas
of the state.
She further disclosed that the Bimodal Voter Accreditation
System, BVAS, had been fully configured, tested, and adjudged ready for
deployment.
“We have left nothing to chance. From the training of
personnel to the deployment of materials, every necessary step has been taken
to ensure a smooth, credible and technology-driven election,” Agwu stated
“Generators have also been deployed to ensure uninterrupted
power supply at critical locations,” she added.
Both the INEC Chairman and the REC underscored the central
role of collaboration with political parties, security agencies, civil society
groups, and the media in guaranteeing the success of the election.
“We are committed to carrying every stakeholder along in
this process. Transparency and partnership remain the bedrock of our
credibility,” Prof. Amupitan added.
