INEC partners business community for hitch-free 2019 general elections

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will partner with the business community in Enugu state to ensure a hitch-free 2019 general elections in the state.

INEC’s Enugu Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Dr Emeka Ononamadu, said this in Enugu on Sunday during INEC’s maiden meeting with stakeholders in the business community in the state.

Ononamadu noted that the business community has a high stake in elections, as outcomes of elections or governance affect businesses directly or indirectly.

“If there is any tension in the land during election as an outcome of irregularities and disagreements, the business community suffers the impact most,” he said.
