The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has warned politicians against interfering with polling station operations during the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election, saying only accredited party agents will be allowed inside polling stations.
Speaking on Tuesday, July 14, ahead of the by-election, IEBC Chairperson Erastus Ethekon said security agencies have been directed to take action against anyone flouting the rules.
"We will not allow anybody, whether it's a senior politician or a leader in this country who has not been cleared and accredited by IEBC to come with their security or their supporters to try and disturb the peace at the polling station or even overrun the polling station," Ethekon said.
