Awka - Hundreds of women on Sunday marched through major streets in Awka to protest against the November 16 governorship election in the state.

ceoafrica gathered that the women who gathered at Arroma Junction marched through Alex Ekwueme Square to the INEC office in the state capital.

A member of the group who declined to identify herself said they would not accept the result of the election because there was no voting in most parts of the state.

She said the women in the state were disappointed with the conduct of the election and called on INEC to organise a fresh one adding that they want to tell the world that they are not happy with the Anambra election and were not allowed to vote due to the lapses.

Meanwhile, security personnel at the INEC office stopped the women from entering the premises.
There were complaints by the electorate over cases of disenfranchisement in the election.

Tony Nwonye, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and members of his family could not vote as their names did not appear on the voters’ register.

Sen. Chris Ngige of the APC also alleged that most voters in Anambra Central could not vote due to late and non-arrival of poll officials and materials.
