INEC concludes a- 2 day workshop
Over 120 members of Staff of Independence National Electoral Commission (INEC), including electoral Field Officers and their assistants have concluded a two day workshop on Election Management System (EMS) Implementers in Awka, Anambra state.
The Anambra State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr. Nkwachukwu Orji said “the training is focused on seven key areas of Logistics, Staff Management, Voter Registration among others, which is targeted at assisting the staff to articulate their plans towards the forthcoming governorship election in the state.”
He described the Election Management System as one of the most important innovations introduced by INEC for planning, monitoring and implementation of election programmes.
On the recent concluded party primaries, Dr Orji explained that “the commission got notification from 38 political parties for their respective primaries, but monitored 35 of them. “The commission will find a way of regularizing any abnormality observed in any of them”.
Dr Orji therefore called for active participation of the participants in the workshop, whose role, he maintained was critical not only for the success of the November eighteenth governorship election, but for the entire work in the commission.
In a remark, the INEC National Commissioner for Planning, Monitoring and Strategic Committee, Prof. Okechukwu Ibeanu, described the workshop as “a backbone to the implementation of both the November and the 2019 general elections”.
It was gathered that the participants in the event described it as critical to the overall success of the forth-coming election in the state
