Voting has ended in many polling stations in Saturday's supplementary governorship elections in Anambra.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that at Iffite Agbaja, Idemili North Local Government Area, the process ended at 1.30 p.m. at units 022 with 18 registered voters, and 023 with 24 voters while only 15 and 20 persons cast their votes respectively.

One of the accredited voters who could not vote, Dr Edozie Aroh, protested against the conclusion of the exercise before 4 p.m.

He said that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) could order voting to stop because the guidelines stipulated that it was only when the last accredited voter had voted.

"I came out early enough for accreditation and by 1.30 p.m. I am not able to vote.

"If accreditation had to last between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m., why should voting end by 4 p.m. ", he asked.

In Amansea, Awka North Local Government Area, votes were counted at Okukwa Hall 04 and Ugbene unit 012.

Security operatives were busy maintaining the peace in the areas.
