INEC Deploys Three National Commissioners Each To Abia, Imo And Taraba

The National Commissioners will be assisted in each of those states by three Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs), besides the substantive RECs for the affected states, INEC Secretary Augusta C. Ogakwu said in a press statement on Friday.


The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has deployed three National Commissioners each to Abia, Imo and Taraba the states on supervisory duties for “effective oversight” on the Supplementary Governorship Elections coming up tomorrow.
The National Commissioners will be assisted in each of those states by three Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs), besides the substantive RECs for the affected states, INEC Secretary Augusta C. Ogakwu said in a press statement on Friday.
The supplementary elections are scheduled to hold in:
• 51 Registration Areas (RAs) in nine Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Abia State;
• 79 RAs in 23 LGAs in Imo; and
• 32 RAs in 10 LGAs in Taraba.
“INEC has also deployed three Directing staff from the Headquarters to each of the affected states to coordinate the operations, while some other staff from the Headquarters have been deployed to the states as Monitors,” the statement said.  “In addition, Electoral Officers (EOs) from neighbouring states will be on ground to assist the EOs of the affected LGAs.”
Mrs. Ogakwu said the Commission is determined to ensure that the supplementary elections are free, fair credible and peaceful, and urged voters in the affected areas to conduct themselves peacefully and in accordance with set procedures of the elections, so that the process is crisis-free and concludes in good time.
INEC also called on the Police to ensure compliance by political actors with the restriction on movement in places where the elections are holding.
“INEC reassures the public that it is investigating allegations of misconduct by some officials during the recent general elections, and will ensure that anyone proven to have violated the rules is brought to book,” the statement concluded.
