The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has warned that any attempt to induce voters before or during the Anambra election would be resisted.
INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan, at a quarterly meeting of Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES), called on security agencies to join hands with the commission to combat the menace of vote buying.
Prof. Amupitan disclose that the commission is collaborating with law enforcement agencies, “especially the anti-graft agencies, to stop vote buyers from contaminating our electoral process.”
He stated that security agents could not afford to create an environment that would allow vote buyers to operate during the Anambra election.
“Together, let us combat vote buying, uphold the values of democracy and work relentlessly for the credibility of our elections.
“The path ahead may be challenging, but if we stand united, there is nothing we cannot achieve,” Prof. Amupitan said.
