Expected?

Well...I know Obiano is a favorite of most Anambra people I know, but I somehow still expected Ngige to pack a lot of punch.

INEC reschedules guber election in 65 polling units

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Saturday rescheduled the Anambra governorship election in 65 polling units in Obosi, Idemili North local government.

“Due to serious logistics and related challenges, the INEC wishes to inform all political parties, the electorate and the general public that it has rescheduled the election for Obosi Registration Area of Idemili North Local government Area.

The election in the ward will now take place today, 17th November, 2013 in all the 65 polling units, according to the statement signed by the Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Prof. Chukwuemeka Onukaogu.

Onukaogu said the accreditation of voters would commence at 8 a.m. in all the 65 polling units while voting would begin at 12:30 p.m.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has suspended the final collation of results of the Anambra election until Sunday afternoon.

Meanwhile, INEC has denied suspending collation of results as reported in a section of the media.
Election is ongoing in Idemili-north LGA at the polling unit at the Peoples Club Owerri road.

This is probably because APGA has already won in at least 16 local government areas.

Even though these results are, as yet, unofficial, there are strong reasons to believe that Chief Willie Obiano is winning this one, with Senator Chris Ngige of APC coming second and Tony Nwoye of PDP coming in third.

 

[Vunderkind]

While we await the official result announcement by INEC later today at Awka, the state capital, senator Chris Ngige is seriously displeased with INEC.

He described the election as a charade and said he wasn't sure if Iwu's INEC administration was any different from Jega's.

He said that INEC is deliberately conducting the elections on sunday in the 65 wards of Obosi - which, as we have come to believe, is Ngige's 'strong hold' - to reduce the number of people who would vote. He believes that conducting an election on Sunday (a worship day) would seriously alter the possible vote figures.

He said that this and the incident of PDP candidate Tony Nwoye being unable to find his name on the register were calculated attempts by INEC to alter the figures in favor of Chief Willie Obiano of APGA.

Chris Ngige has called for the cancellation of the election, stating that if the election isn't nullified, his party would be taking the issue to court.

High hopes....then you are a stranger in Nigeria. Anambra is one of the most politically volatile states in Nigeria....they once had 3 governors in 3years

Ifeanyi Ubah, governorship candidate of Labour Party, has faulted the outcome of the election saying having won convincingly at his Nnewi North local government, which is the stronghold of APGA (the home of Ojukwus), he was confident that he would have won in the entire state had the APGA not rigged the poll.
