The voting station is one of 128 in the province which has been identified as high-risk, after ongoing unrest by community members who have vowed not to vote unless their local chief is reinstated.
Disgruntled community members then prevented eight voting stations from opening at the weekend when special votes were being conducted. “The classroom, which had been storing materials such as stationery, was burnt down. We do not understand why they would do this.”
