There were discordant tunes among major stakeholders in the Anambra election that took place on Saturday.
While some praised the election as well organised, others disagreed.

A former Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Chief Chinedu Emeka, who spoke with one of our correspondent at Umueze Anam in Anambra West local Government Area said that INEC, the police and other security agencies had a duty to ensure that the polling was peaceful and “devoid of any illegality.”

He said they were praying for a peaceful outcome of the election. He hoped that the maturity exhibited by the candidates during the campaigns should show in the way they receive the result of the election.

Senator Joy Emodi, who voted at her Odoakpu Ward at 12.28pm expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the election and INEC officials.
She commended INEC for the “orderly planning of the election from Day One,” which she said has led to the success of the election.
She said, “I am elated for what I have so far seen. The election is peaceful and there is large turnout of voters. It is well organised. Security is tight and we have not experienced any violence so far.”

However, Senator Emma Anosike, the running-mate to the PDP candidate, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo described the election as a sham.
He said the election had been marred by the fact that many voters did not find their names in the voters’ register.
He said that 95 percent of these voters whose names were no longer in the register voted in 2007 and wondered why in just two years the same people could not find their names in the register.

we should be ready to have elections as many times as it takes to get it right.

otherwise we will be sending the wrong message.

Anambra is one state, election will be conducted in 35 states in 2011

So lets wait and see. PDP may be complaining today but the rest of the country may be the ones complaining in 2011 if we do not get it right in Anambra.

Soludo criticised this same voter register 48hours to the election on BBC Focus Africa programme
