Low voter turnout mars LG poll in Awka

The Anambra Local Government (LG) election took place with notable low voter turnout in certain areas of Awka North and Awka South Local Government Areas. Despite the timely arrival of voting materials, many polling centers saw minimal participation. Officials from the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission (ANSIEC) were present, along with security personnel, ensuring a peaceful environment. Voters were directed to centralized locations such as St. Matthew’s Catholic Church and Nodu Town Hall for convenience. Unlike previous elections, there were no announced restrictions on movement within the state. Reports indicate that the election proceeded smoothly, with no major incidents. Two political parties, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the Young Progressives Party (YPP), participated, and several candidates ran unopposed, requiring a 'Yes or No' ballot to confirm acceptance by voters.
