After some moments of wait, Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra state has reportedly sent names of the board members of the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission (ANSIEC) to the House of Assembly for confirmation.
The Governor did this as part of the preparations for the conduct of Local Government elections in the state.
The Speaker of the House of Assembly, Rt.Hon. Somtochukwu Nkemakonam Udeze who read out the Governor’s letter requesting consideration and confirmation of the board members, thereafter referred the letter to a screening committee headed by the Deputy Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Chukwuma Okoye for further deliberations.
The Governor’s letter was said to have contained names of the board members to include Magistrate Chinelo Genevieve Osakwe as Chairman of ANSIEC board. While Barr. Osita Igbokwe, Mr Chinedu Anthony, Mrs Ifeyinwa Umeh and two others are members.
The Speaker charged the screening committee to expedite action on the letter and report to the House on the next adjourned date.
