The turnout for the local government elections in many parts of Enugu State was generally low, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.
NAN correspondents who monitored the elections in the state on Saturday reports that there was voter apathy in the wards visited as very few voters were seen at the various polling units.
Officials of the Enugu State Independent Electoral Commission were still at the headquarters of Enugu North Local Government to take delivery of election materials. The chairmanship candidate said the people needed to be given the latitude to vote according to their conscience without inhibitions. Felicia Chime and Godwin Agu, who were at the Igbariam Primary School ward 7 for the exercise, expressed disappointment at the poor preparation by ENSIEC.
A party agent of the Democratic People’s Party in Abakpa two Ward 16, Christopher Ugwu, expressed satisfaction with the election process.”Despite the late commencement, voting is still peaceful and orderly but I am not happy with the turnout.
