candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP in the Anambra, Mr. Tony
Nwoye could not vote in Saturday's
election as he could not find his
name in the voter's register at his Nsugbe Ward 1 polling booth in
Anambra East Local Government
Area. Also, his parents were unable to vote
just as he alleged that over 30
percent of his supporters were
disenfranchised as they could not
trace their names in the register. INEC officials on ground could not
give reasons for the omission of their
names even when they were all
carrying valid voters card. Nwoye who spoke to reporters said
the rigging of the election was pre-
planned and the style adopted by
APGA in connivance with INEC was to
remove people's name from the
voter's register especially in areas where APGA lacked support. Nwoye said the same list that was
used to disenfranchise him and his
parents was the same list that we
used in voting in the last election
and wondered how this time around
over 30 percent of the registered names were missing. He said he tried to communicate to
the INEC boss Attahiru Jega but he
was incommunicado.
"Unlike during the time of Iwu when
I was the PDP chairman in the state,
you get him with just one dial," he
posited. Nwoye said as at now, the only
option for him is to resign himself to
fate until the results of the
elections were released. But he expressed optimism that
despite the plot to disenfranachise
him and his supporters in his
hometown, he would still emerge
victorious.
