2023 Election: Voters Stranded as INEC Officials Delay Arrival in Enugu Ward

Voters in Etiti village hall, Ogbozalla/Idi ward of Nsukka Local Government Area in Enugu State, have been left stranded as officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) are yet to arrive at the polling unit as of 11:20 am.

According to reports from eyewitnesses, voters who arrived at the polling unit as early as 8:00 am have been waiting for the arrival of INEC officials and election materials, but to no avail. This delay has caused a lot of frustration among the voters who are eager to exercise their franchise.

The situation is said to be the same in some other polling units in Nsukka LGA, where INEC officials are yet to arrive. Voters in these areas are calling on INEC to ensure the timely deployment of officials and election materials to polling units to avoid further delays and disenfranchisement of voters.

It is unclear why the INEC officials are yet to arrive at the polling units in Nsukka LGA, but many are speculating that it could be due to logistic challenges or other unforeseen circumstances.

As the 2023 general elections continue, it is important for INEC to ensure that officials and materials are deployed on time to avoid voter apathy and other challenges that may arise due to delays in the electoral process.
