The atmosphere in Awka South Local Government Area has remained calm and peaceful as Ndi Anambra trooped out to elect their leader for the next four years.
At Aroma Junction 1, Agu Oka, Polling Unit 008, voting materials and personnel were already in place as early as 8:30 a.m. The venue coordinator, Mrs. Prisca Anya, and Assistant Presiding Officer, Mr. Kalu A.A., confirmed their preparedness for the exercise. Voters were also on ground, casting their ballots as they were accredited.
Similarly, at Ogbugbankwa, Awka Ward VI, Polling Units 012 and 028, residents came out in their numbers to perform their civic duties. Accreditation and voting were ongoing simultaneously.
