The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday distributed sensitive materials to local government areas in Edo State, where by-elections are expected to hold on Saturday, amid tight security

Political parties and civil society representatives were present at the Benin branch of the Central Bank of Nigeria, from where the sensitive materials were distributed.

Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof. Anugbum Onuoha, who spoke to journalists during the exercise said it was important to invite political parties who indicated interest to contest in the by-election.

Prof. Onuoha said the political parties expressed satisfaction with the processes.

“The exercise, so far, has been seamless and we are good to go. The sensitive materials will move from here to the seven local government areas”.
