The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it is fully prepared to conduct the governorship and bye-elections scheduled to hold on Saturday.
The elections include the Ekiti State Governorship Election as well as bye-elections in Dawaki Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency in Kano State, and Zuru State Constituency in Kebbi State.
Other bye-elections will hold in Ondo South Senatorial District in Ondo State, Rivers South East Senatorial District in Rivers State, Nasarawa North Senatorial District in Nasarawa State, and Enugu North Senatorial District in Enugu State.
INEC’s Deputy Director, Publicity and Voter Education, Wilfred Ifogah, said the Commission had put in place necessary measures to ensure free, fair and credible elections.
Speaking with LEADERSHIP on Thursday in Abuja, Ifogah said the Commission had trained and retrained its staff and ad hoc personnel on handling emergencies, managing sensitive election materials, and adhering strictly to electoral guidelines to prevent electoral malpractice.
“The Commission has done its best to ensure elections are conducted in an atmosphere that guarantees free and fair participation, where every eligible voter will be allowed to cast his or her vote without any hindrance.
