The Independent National Electoral Commission has assured stakeholders that the gubernatorial election holding on July 14 in the State will be free, fair and reasonable.

It said it would deploy technology that would make the electoral process devoid of rigging and interference.

The Head, Election and Party Monitoring unit of INEC in Ekiti, Mr. Austin Orogbu, gave the assurance at the governorship primary of the Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance, where Tope Adebayo emerged as the candidate.

The APDA state chairman, Chief Samuel Elebute, said Adebayo was considered because he meant well for the state judging by his past record.

Adebayo promised to turn around the fortunes of Ekiti, if elected governor.
