ANAMBRA SUPPLEMENTARY ELECTION MAY TAKE PLACE NEXT WEEK

The Anambra State Gubernatorial supplementary election may take place
not later than November 30, 2013.
Though the EMB commenced an operational audit of the governorship
election, with blame being heaped on the 21 electoral officers of the
commission in Anambra State, INEC studiously defended its Continuous
Voters' Register (CVR), blaming the missing names of voters on the
refusal by voters in the state to cross check their names when the
register was displayed.
According to a source who spoke on the issue, the commission was
satisfied with the explanation of its officials who reviewed the
voters' register, stating that no complaint was received by the
commission, during and after the display of the voters' register for
two weeks in the 4,608 polling units in Anambra State.
On the supplementary election, it was resolved that the election
should take place later than November 30.
It was gathered that the commission would have preferred November 23,
but the commission will be preoccupied in Enugu State this weekend
with a bye-election.
INEC is therefore expected to officially announce the November 30 today.
