The Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) says Anambra election will be one of the biggest it
has ever conducted.
Chairman of INEC, Prof Mahmood
Yakubu, said this in Abuja yesterday.
He explained that the November 18
poll would be unique because of the number of parties that would partake in the
exercise.
“We are combining the
governorship election with the Idemili North state constituency election. There
will be two ballot boxes and voters will receive two ballot papers.
“All the other arrangements,
logistics, staff training, and security, are in place. We are killing two birds
with one stone. And for the first time in the history of elections in Nigeria,
37 political parties are contesting in the Anambra election.
“Of the 14 activities lined up,
we have executed nine. We are so determined as a commission to make the 2019
general elections better than 2015,” he stated.
He also allayed fears of some
stakeholders that security agencies could postpone the election at the last
minute.
