National commissioners of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will be in charge of the crucial supplementary governorship elections holding on Friday in Imo State, officials of the electoral commission said yesterday. The final elections, holding in four local government areas of the state, is seen as a key test for the commission as it rounds up the 2011 general elections. Opposition parties had earlier threatened to pull out of the contest, which mostly pitches incumbent governor Ikedi Ohakim of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against frontrunner, Rochas Okorocha, unless the commission tightened its supervision of the exercise.
