The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is the only major political party participating in Saturday’s contest.
At Gwagwalada Pilot Science primary School, voting commenced before 8: 40 a.m. with high turnout of voters in the polling units.
The election will hold in Nnewi North and Orumba North local government areas of Anambra.
“The tribunal ordered for forensic inspection of the BVAS, so the BVAS is specifically contained in the tribunal order,” Mr Ihejiagwa said.
All the witnesses who worked as INEC adhoc staff during the presidential election said they were unable to transmit election results from their BVAS machines as stipulated.
It was gathered that they were released following intervention by security agents but election materials, including BVAS machines, are still missing.
“There were issues of non-functionality of the BVAS machines. INEC should address the issue before the coming elections.”
The coalition decried the spate of violence that characterised the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections in parts of the country.
The attempt to tamper with electoral materials that would serve as evidence is not only a brazen attack on the sensibilities of over 200 million people but a contemptuous act.
A source said INEC would need sufficient time to reconfigure the BVAS to conduct the elections slated for Saturday.
