OSUN: Vote buying, fear of violence take centre stage

 

There are concerns that vote buying and violence may mar the exercise in the Osun state election

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and security agencies have assured that the election will be violence-free and devoid of any form of inducement by political parties and politicians.

However, there are strong fears from observers of political events that today’s election could be exposed to massive rigging and unprecedented vote buying if urgent steps are not taken to curb the trend.

Newsmen gathered that unlike the strategy deployed during the governorship election in Ekiti State, some politicians have devised new means to induce voters.
