At Polling Unit 026, Village Square, in Kwali Area Council, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), an electoral officer reprimanded a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) agent for attempting to instruct an elderly voter on how to cast her ballot.
The officer reminded the agent that only INEC officials, who have received proper training, are authorized to guide voters during the election process.
The incident reportedly sparked one of the earlier arguments at the polling unit, highlighting tensions as residents cast their votes in the ongoing Area Council elections.
Observers note that incidents like this underscore the importance of maintaining order and ensuring voters can exercise their rights independently.
