The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday expressed its intention to transmit the results of the November 11 Bayelsa governorship election manually.
Naija News gathered that the state INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Obo Effanga stated this in Yenagoa on Wednesday.
Effanga revealed this during an interactive section with religious leaders and faith-based organisations.
He noted that the electoral body is ready to conduct free, fair and credible elections and only voters accredited by BVAS would be allowed to vote. 
Effang said, “Immediately you are given the ballot paper you can start voting.
“We are in the fourth week of collection of PVCs and it will end on Oct. 11. Those who have not collected their cards should go to the INEC office in their local government areas.”
Effanga urged the stakeholders to advise their candidates to be peaceful.
He further stated, “Religious leaders should take the message to their congregation and politicians who are also Church members.”
He said that 16 political parties had fielded candidates for the election.
One of the religious leaders, Rev. Joseph Belema commended INEC, stressing that a free, fair and credible election was a way forward for electing good leaders.
He called on the candidates not to see the election as a do-or-die affair, adding that only one person would be elected.
