The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC), says three elements would define the November 28
Anambra guber election.
Dr. Nkwachukwu Orji, Resident
Electoral Commissioner, said this on Thursday in Awka during a two-day workshop
for Civil Society Situation Room.
He listed the factors to include
the pro-Biafra agitators, general discontentment in the entire South East
region as well as the security challenges in the region.
Orji announced that INEC will
recruit about 20,000 personnel to conduct the governorship election
He explained that the workshop
was “to provide a platform for the civil societies to interact with the INEC
management to review the activities so far embarked upon by the commission in
order to make plans for the future”.
Orji revealed that “a total of 35
candidates from various registered political parties emerged from their party
primaries”.
He, however, added that some of
the parties conducted theirs without the presence of the electoral umpire.
Meanwhile, Oodua People’s
Congress, OPC, has condemned the militarization of some part of the East
under Operation Python Dance.
