The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday, 6 November, 2025 kick-started the distribution of sensitive materials for the November 8, 2025 Governorship Election in Anambra State.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Anambra State, Dr Queen Elizabeth Agwu, monitored the distribution of sensitive election materials to the various local government areas ahead of the gubernatorial election on Thursday, 6 November, 2025
According to Agwu, the distribution was part of the electoral process, urging the electorate to come out en masse on Saturday, November 8, 2025, and exercise their franchise in order to elect candidates of their choice.
The State REC explained that the commission commenced the movement and distribution of three key sensitive materials by 9 a.m. to the various Registration Area Centres (RACs) as part of the final preparations for the election.
Among the sensitive materials distributed were the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), Forms EC8A and Forms EC8B.
The distribution of sensitive materials was carried out with the joint supervision of party agents and security operatives to ensure transparency. The REC expressed hope that there would not be hiccups at the end of the exercise.
Agwu also allayed the fear being entertained in some quarters that their votes would not count or that their candidate would be declared the winner of the poll.
She pointed out that INEC has, in collaboration with all relevant stakeholders including political parties, security agencies and civil society organisations, made adequate preparations to ensure that the forthcoming election is free, fair, transparent and credible.
“People should come out and vote; participate in this election process. Do not stay at home thinking that your vote will not count, and do not assume that your candidate has already won. INEC is fully prepared for this election, and we are assuring the people of Anambra State of a credible and peaceful exercise,” she said.
“We have been at the CBN since 9 a.m., and everything has gone smoothly without any challenges or complaints. This shows our readiness and commitment to delivering a credible election,” she added.
