The
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it is fully prepared for
the conduct of the Lagos constituency bye-election in Eti-Osa Local Government
Area
on Sept. 30.
Newsmen report that the election is to fill the vacant seat
as a result of the death of the lawmaker representing the area, Mr Kazeem Alimi
on July 8. INEC Resident Electoral Commission in the state Sam Olumekun told
newsmen on Wednesday in Lagos that the commission had concluded all
arrangements to conduct the polls.
“We are ready for the election, everything
is in place, and we are good to go. “We have started receiving non-sensitive
materials for the conduct of the election and our personnel too have been fully
prepared.
“We will ensure the peaceful and credible conduct of the election and
meet the expectations of stakeholders,’’ he said. He said the details of how
the commission would go about the election would be made public in the coming
days. The commissioner, however, urged stakeholders and the public to give the
commission the necessary support to ensure hitch-free conduct of the election.
