Ondo Election: Accreditation, voting end in Kiribo
Accreditation and voting at Idumado Unit 4 Ward 2, Kiribo in Ese-Odo LGA of Ondo ended at 2:35 p.m.
The voters in the queue were attended to while the election was peaceful, free and fair.
Sorting and counting votes commenced almost immediately while political party agents vigilantly watched the process.
Samson Ajayi, the agent of the Peoples Democratic Party at the polling unit, said that the election was peaceful, but the BVAS machine was initially slow.
He explained that the BVAS machine later performed optimally, improving the voting pace.
Also, Ebun Akinleye, the APC agent, said the voting was peaceful and expressed high optimism that her party would sweep the votes in the unit and across the state.
Similarly, Sijuade Bicket, the Accord Party agent, said the election was peaceful but slow due to challenges with BVAS.
“It was around 12 noon that the machine started performing optimally, and the voting pace increased,” he said.
