 The House of Representatives Supplementary Election in Pothackert's federal constituent in Rivers State has been characterized by low-volta turnout. The electoral offices arrived early with the materials, but very few persons accosted their vote. In the Pothackert city, Lyoko government area were supplementary elections held in 377 polling units in wards 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18. It was observed that there was a low turnout of voters even though the exercise was peaceful. Some of the voters who spoke with newsmen attributed voter apathy to doubt over their transparent conduct of their elections. The election is very, very peaceful, conducted very, very properly. I believe if subsequently in subsequent election we can have such kind of conducive environment for election, people won't be scared and people won't be having this panic of fear when it calls for election because everything is going smoothly as you can see for ourselves. The turnout is not actually like it used to be, since this is supplementary, so many persons are probably indoors and having their good time. But I believe at the end of the day, probably the result will speak for itself. Apathy, the place is calm, peaceful, the people who came out to vote came out and did their voting peacefully. Unlike before, when you come in at this polling unit, like Saint Thomas, I see the crowd. But today there is not much crowd. But in all, we need to cast our votes to where our conscience is highly, where our conscience is highly needed. So that is just that. If only the High Neck would have promised us, they would do what they promised us. But they are not doing it. So they have biased the minds of the people and people are no longer coming out because after they cast your votes, depending on the person you are casting your vote to, at the end they will do different things. So that is the sense of people coming out. There is no need of people coming out again. The experience I had today was good than before. The security here today was okay. I love that, where the security is in this place, everywhere is calm and quiet and people are coming to vote the person they want to vote in. And I like the place so quiet, no fighting, no quarrel. A presiding officer of unit 77, Daniel Sequoye said, voted commenced in his unit by 8.30 a.m. But only few persons had voted due to inadequate sensitization of voters. Compared to this one, the turnout is very, very low. And this from the presidential governorship to this one, you know, the number is going down and down every time. Like compared to the presidential election, the number was higher, governorship, it became low and this one is really lower. That's what I'm trying to say. That's just my view. Or would I equally attribute it to most people who don't know that today's election? Because of the time frame, it was very, very short.
