Foreign Election Observers Arrive At Utako Polling Units To Monitor Voting Process
Foreign election observers were sighted at Polling Units 080 and 081 at Utako LEA Primary School in the Federal Capital Territory as election monitoring activities intensified during the ongoing Abuja Municipal Area Council election.
The presence of the AMAC foreign election observers drew attention as they engaged electoral officials and closely assessed the voting process while accreditation and balloting continued at the polling units. Voters were seen casting their ballots under the watch of both security personnel and the international observers.
Earlier, it was reported that as of 8:11 am on Saturday, a heavy security presence had been deployed at the Registration Area Centre of Lifecamp Primary School ahead of the AMAC council election. The deployment was aimed at ensuring a smooth and peaceful process across the area.
However, some presiding officers reportedly disclosed that they were still awaiting security escorts before proceeding to their respective polling units. The development raised concerns about possible logistical delays despite the arrival of foreign election observers to oversee compliance and transparency.
Residents expressed hope that the presence of foreign election observers would strengthen credibility and boost confidence in the electoral process across the Federal Capital Territory. Voting activities are expected to continue as officials work to address operational challenges.
Another thing to note is that the election observers appear to be from the European Union in monitoring the FCT Council Elections.
