In a move to ensure a smooth and transparent voting process, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has supplied the necessary materials to the local electoral offices. These materials include ballot papers, voting boxes, and other essential items required for the conduct of the election.
Officials from INEC confirmed that the distribution was completed ahead of the election day, allowing candidates and campaign teams to prepare for the voting exercise. The by‑election follows the resignation of the previous member of parliament for the constituency.
