The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, House of Assembly candidate for Isi-Uzo state constituency, Mr. Ejiofor has complained of electoral malpractices in some polling units in his local government of Enugu State.

Okwor who spoke to Vanguard alleged that his agents were chased out by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, agents and stalwarts in the affected units such as in Umualor and Ikem communities.

At Ikem-uno polling unit, he alleged that his agent and younger brother, Nnaemeka Okwor was beaten at the unit for protesting what he said was massive tumb printing that was being perpetuated there.

“I call on INEC to cancel elections in the effected polling units because of the electoral fraud and malpractice that were perpetuated in those polling units,” Okwor said.

However, PDP polling agent at Ojete polling unit in Neke ward 2, Orompo Nnabuike Ugwu said the election was free and fair on his unit.

“There is no violence, no molestation even by security agents. We don’t have problems in Neke, even the card readers worked very well.

“The only problem is that not all the registered voters participated in the election but in all we give God the glory.”
