The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC says there is no substantial evidence to support outright cancellation of the governorship election held in Anambra State on 16 November 2013. The commission has therefore decided that a supplementary election will hold at designated areas on Nov 30, 2013.

Among the issues discussed at Thursday’s marathon meeting were the late arrival of materials, absence of voting materials and complaints about voters not getting their names on the register and other administrative lapses.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Anambra State, Prof. Chukwuemeka Onukaogu and the Chief Returning Officer for the election, Prof. James Epoke were among the INEC officials at the meeting.

The commission had stated that it had commenced “administrative interrogation” of its field staff who participated in the election and those involved in some administrative lapses.

INEC had identified late arrival of materials, absence of voting materials and complaints of voters not getting their names on the register as areas to be given attention.

According to him, the electoral officer who was arrested in connection with the crisis in Idemili North Local Government Area of the state has been handed over to the police and is facing interrogation.
