Scores of registered voters in Imo State who turned out to cast their votes for their preferred presidential and National Assembly candidates yesterday were at the weekend disenfranchised due to the absence of the Independent National Electoral Commission officials in their areas.
Specifically, many registered voters who arrived polling centres at Obudi Agwa in Oguta local council and Akwakuma Girl’s Secondary School in Owerri North local council waited till about 4:00p.m before they dispersed. In some areas, the electoral officials were also accused of not bringing result sheets alongside other electoral materials to the polling units, even as security agencies were either not seen or not enough at some voting centres.
