The Imole Campaign Council has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to immediately address reported malfunctions of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) at polling units across Osun State.
The campaign council, in a statement issued by its spokesman, Pelumi Olajengbesi, said it had received multiple complaints about BVAS failures, describing the development as a threat to voters’ ability to participate in the ongoing governorship election.
The council alleged that several of the affected local government areas are strongholds of the Accord Party and Governor Ademola Adeleke, raising concerns over the potential impact of the technical failures on voters in those areas.
It specifically cited the governor’s polling unit, Unit 009, Ward 02, Agbogunde Sagba, in Ede North Local Government Area, where it alleged that BVAS machines had either malfunctioned or operated slowly.
According to the council, the situation had frustrated voters who were forced to remain in queues for hours under the sun while waiting to be accredited.
