He said the election would be conducted along with the supplementary election for Aguata and Idemili South Federal Constituency.
Dr. Orji explained that the supplementary election was necessitated as a result of violence that erupted in some of the polling units in the areas and called on the people to be lawful during the exercise and to report any attempt at breach of peace to the law enforcement agents.
