#EdoDecides2024: Voters lament late arrival of INEC officials, materials

Eligible Voters in Ewohimi, particularly in Okaegben ward one, polling 3 and 15, were yet to exercise their franchise as at 10.30am at the ongoing Edo governorship election.

The unit is the polling centre of the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Asue Ighodalo where he cast his vote.

The voters who expressed concern at the absence of INEC at most polling units in Ewohimin said the development could affect the voting process.

Mr Christopher Adoghe, a voter, said ”This is past 10 am and up till now, we have not seen INEC officials and materials in polling unit three.

“From here you can also see unit 15, there are no materials and INEC officials.

“From the information reaching us, most of the polling units in Ewohimi are experiencing the same issue, no INEC Officials and materials.

“Look at old men and women out in the rain but no INEC officials to commence voting at 10:30am,” he said.

Mr Monday Victor, a voter and an elderly man who also expressed concern over the delay, called on the INEC chairman to immediately order his officials to various voting points in Ewohimi.
