November 06, (THEWILL) – Anambra Deputy Governor, Dr. Nkem Okeke, has exercised his franchise as the election continues in the state.
Okeke who recently defected to the All Progressive Congress (APC), also cast his vote for his new party.
The deputy governor voted at his polling unit, Umueze Awozu, Enugwu-Ukwu Ward 3, polling unit 005 around past 10 am.
Okeke, who displayed his ballot paper to the camera said, “I had to reveal my ballot paper because there have been rumors that I had defected back to APGA, but that is not true. You just saw that I voted for my party, APC.”.
There was high voter turnout at his polling unit as he waited for some minutes before he was attended to.
Okeke commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the Biometric Voters Accreditation System (BVAS), saying the system presents a seamless voting process.
“This is the easiest that I have ever had in voting ever. The process is very seamless and as you can see, I have just voted. In other elections, I have always had a problem with fingerprints, but this is different and seamless.”
