Low turnout, absence of electoral officials in Anambra local elections

The local election in the 21 council areas of Anambra State has been marred by low voter turnout and the absence of electoral materials and staff at some polling units (PU).

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) correspondents who monitored the polls reported a heavy security presence at the polling units and wards visited.

NAN reports that people were going about their normal businesses, as very few people were seen at the polling units visited at PU 002, located at Ofuiyi Square, Umueze, in Isuofia Ward 13, and PU 007, Central School, Ozala, in Isuofia Ward 13 in Aguata Local Government Area.
