Mr Davis Iluebbey and Mr Samuel Udezi, Electoral Officers
for Abua/Odual and Opobo/Nkoro Local Government Areas respectively, say
accreditation and voting for the State Assembly elections are going on
peacefully.
Iluebbey told the newsmen on Saturday that although there
were little delays because of the heavy rain, electoral materials had been
deployed to all the polling units slated for the election.
“In Abua/Odual, we have enough electoral materials, and the
Presiding and Assistant Presiding Officers (POs and APOs) have left with their
electoral materials to the polling units.
“There was heavy rain that delayed the process, but voting
has started because accreditation and voting are going on simultaneously.
According to Iluebbey, although 14 political parties are on
the ballot for the Abua/Odual State Constituency Assembly election, the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) and African Democratic Congress (ADC) are the two
leading political parties in the contest.
“So far, the election
is going on peacefully in all the 181 polling units of the 13 Wards in the LGA.
The total number of registered voters in the LGA is 88, 561,” he said.
In Opobo/Nkoro LGA, the EO Udezi said that only 20 polling
units in five Wards with 7,344 registered voters are affected in the state
constituency supplementary election.
“We have no issue for now, we have deployed all the
materials to the POs and we are even going round to supervise them.
“I am currently in Ward 7, Unit 18 and the accreditation and
voting are going on peacefully for now,” he said.
