Why Anambra Poll Is More Expensive Than Ondo, Edo Elections – INEC
The Independent Electoral Commission has stated that the cost of conducting the forth-coming Anambra State governorship election is higher than that of Ondo and Edo.
He stated that the amount used for the rebuilding of burnt office has led to the high cost of the Anambra election.
He said “It’s been very very costly and we can’t compare it to Ondo and Edo states elections, because we are in very unusual circumstances, we had to do things differently. So in terms of cost, it is most costly than other elections.
The commissioner further explained, “We are conducting this election in a very unusual circumstance. This is because we had to rebuild our offices in Nnewi North and Idemili North, where our local government offices were burnt.”
