Anambra Election: Soludo's Polling Unit Sees Massive Turnout with Priority for PwDs and Elderly
In Anambra, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo's polling unit witnessed a significant turnout, prioritizing persons with disabilities (PwDs) and the elderly. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) reported 2,826,404 registered voters, including 3,456 identified PwDs.
However, TAF Africa highlighted concerns about the lack of disaggregated data on PVC collection among PwDs, potentially disenfranchising them. Dr. Amina Zakari of TAF Africa emphasized the need for inclusive electoral planning.
This event reflects ongoing gaps in political inclusivity for PwDs in the Anambra governorship election.
