The member representing Bende North constituency in Abia State House of Assembly, Hon. Chijioke Chukwu has called on Abia State Independent Electoral Commission (ABSIEC) to cancel the exercise in Bende local government area.
The exercise was ongoing at 3 pm on Friday when he spoke with ABN TV.
Chukwu alleged that the material for the exercise was inadequate according to the situation report.
He insisted that as at the moment of this report, there was nothing to suggest that election is taking place in the local government headquarters, insisting that the materials made available for the exercise was not enough to go round.
