Yiaga Africa, a civil society organisation, on Sunday in Abuja said it had begun its pre-election observation of Anambra State, ahead of the November 6 governorship election.
In a statement, the Director of Programmes, Yiaga Africa, Cynthia Mbamalu, said the organisation would track and report pre-election activities for the response of stakeholders through its ‘Watching the Vote (WTV), citizens’ election observation project.
According to Mbamalu, through the observation, Yiaga Africa will also be tracking the efficacy of the role of major election stakeholders, early warning signs and any form of incidents that can hinder the successful conduct of the elections.

“This will enable us to share the information with recommendations to stakeholders in the Anambra election.
“Pre-elections observation findings will also be shared with the public via channels of communication, including social media.
“The pre-election observation builds on the observation of the political party primaries and the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise in the state.
“The ‘Watching The Vote’ project has trained and deployed Long Term Observers (LTOs) across the 21 local governments,’’ she said.
