Voters apathy on Saturday trailed the on-going Anambra supplementary election in some parts of Onitsha metropolis, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports. A NAN correspondent who monitored the exercise in polling units in Ward 6 in Onitsha South Local Government Area and a polling unit in Ward 9 in Onitsha North, reported that INEC was fully prepared for the exercise. It was gathered that election materials and INEC personnel arrived at the various polling booths as early as 7 a.m. while sensitive electoral materials were also on ground with the electoral officers. However, the electorate were not forthcoming as expected as most residents had decided to go to their daily businesses.There was high number of security personnel at each polling booth, which in some cases, out-numbered the voters who turned out. Mr Chidi Okereke, a resident of Zik Avenue in Fegge, told NAN that the materials, INEC main and ad hoc staff, as well as security agencies were in place as early as 7a.m. Stay tuned.
