Anambra Election Sees Centenarian and Visually Impaired Voters Amidst Allegations of Vote-Buying

In the Anambra governorship election, a 110-year-old voter, Papa Onwujiobi Nwafo, and a visually impaired man, Pa Julius Nwafor, cast their ballots. Despite technical issues with the Biometric Voter Accreditation System (BVA), voters like Pa Nwafor successfully voted with assistance.

Concerns arose over alleged vote-buying by a political party, with claims of cash inducements for votes. The election also witnessed instances of technical malfunctions in various polling units.

Chioma Ifemeludik raised alarm on social media about the reported vote-buying activities.
