Following the reported cases of serious logistics and related challenges in some parts of Anambra State during last Saturday governorship election, CLEEN Foundation, one of the observer groups that monitored the election, has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to take harmonisation of the voters' register.

The group called for continuous voters' registration more seriously in future elections to reduce incidents of missing photos, names and other crucial information.

Speaking through its Programme Manager, Chinedu Nwagu, at a press briefing in Awka on the conduct of the Anambra State governorship election, CLEEN Foundation also implored INEC and law enforcement agencies to take immediate steps to put an end to impunity in electoral offences by arresting and prosecuting offenders.

Nwagu said: "INEC should move beyond rhetoric and comprehensively review its logistic deployment strategy before every election to ensure that materials and persons arrive early at the various units." he said.
