There was a low turnout of voters in Ilejemeje Constituency in Ekiti State, where supplementary elections held in 20 polling units.

Few voters were at polling units for accreditation earlier in the day.

The same scenario played out at Polling Unit 007 Imose-Ise, Owakuta Polling Unit 003 and Ise Polling Unit 006.

The process was peaceful, as the voters that participated in the election at the affected polling units in Iludun, Obada and Iye conducted themselves in a peaceful manner during accreditation.

Voting materials arrived as early as 7:00am and accreditation commenced at exactly 8:00a.m.

At about 10:30am, 55 out of 139 registered voters have been accredited at Polling Unit 001 at the General Hospital in Iye.

Party agents of the two major political parties, the All Progressive Congress and the People Democratic Party were seen in all the polling units visited.

A restriction of movement declared by the Police on Friday was strictly obeyed, as security operatives patrolled the areas to maintain peace and order while some security officers manned each of the polling units, where voting was taking place.
