PDP demands credible local council election in Anambra
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday charged the newly constituted Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission (ANSIEC) to be independent and transparent in its conduct of local government election in the state.
The PDP Chairman in the state, Mr. Chigozie Igwe, made the call in a chat with journalists in Awka.
Igwe was reacting to Tuesday’s inauguration of a six-man ANSIEC board by Governor Charles Soludo.
The board is headed by Magistrate Chinelo Osakwe.

He said: “The PDP in Anambra wishes to call on ANSIEC to ensure that all eligible voters are given the opportunity to participate in the electoral process without any form of intimidation or harassment.
“We will not accept any form of manipulation or rigging in the upcoming local government elections; as a party, we are fully prepared and positioned to win the majority of the elections.”
