The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured residents of Ekiti State of its readiness to conduct a free, fair and credible governorship election in the state.

INEC’s National Commissioner and Chairman of Information and Voter Education Committee, FESTUS OKOYE, gave the assurance on a television programme today. 

Mr. OKOYE also revealed that over 980,000 residents have been captured in the commission’s voters’ register but noted that less than 200,000 of the figure were expected at the polling units.

The INEC official explained that this was to allow the commission the opportunity to separate the PVCs collected in order of the respective polling units, registration areas, per local government areas.
