ONITSHA — The ongoing local government chairmanship and councillorship elections in Anambra State were largely peaceful on Saturday, with voters turning out across polling units in the state’s 21 local government areas.
Unlike previous elections, when ballot materials were reportedly delivered late to some polling units, the materials for Saturday’s exercise arrived early at most locations visited.
At St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Isingwu, Oraifite Ward 1 in Ekwusigo Local Government Area, the APGA chairmanship candidate, Hon. Ifeanyi Onuchukwu, cast his vote at about 10:30am shortly after accreditation.
