The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured that the November 6, Anambra governorship election will be “embarrassingly” transparent as it has put facilities in place to achieve an all-inclusive process.

INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner in Anambra, Dr Nwachukwu Orji, gave the assurance in Awka during a voter education and sensitisation forum for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and women groups.

The programme was organised in collaboration with the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES), the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Consortium for Elections and Political Process Strengthening.

Dr Orji who was represented by INEC’s Head of Voter Education and Publicity, Mr Samuel Nimem, said the commission had successfully carried out most of the activities on schedule for the election.

He, therefore, urged the PWDs to actively participate in all aspects of electoral processes as the commission had made adequate provisions for them in terms of voting aids. (NAN)
