A video circulating online has allegedly shown a woman thumb-printing multiple ballot papers during the ongoing Ebonyi State Local Government election in Amasiri, Afikpo South Local Government Area.
The footage, which has generated reactions on social media, appears to show the woman handling and marking several ballot papers at an election location in Amasiri.
The development has raised concerns among observers and residents over the conduct and credibility of the 2026 Ebonyi State LGA election.
However, the authenticity of the video, the identity of the woman involved and the circumstances surrounding the incident have yet to be independently verified.
The election is being conducted across Ebonyi State’s 13 Local Government Areas, with voters casting their ballots to elect local government chairmen and councillors.
Meanwhile, reports from different parts of the state indicate that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is recording strong performances across the 13 LGAs. The party is reportedly leading in several areas as counting and result collation continue.
The Ebonyi State Independent Electoral Commission (EBSIEC) is expected to announce the official results after the completion of voting, counting and collation.
The alleged ballot-paper incident in Amasiri is expected to attract further attention as political parties, observers and residents await the final outcome of the local government elections.
Authorities and electoral stakeholders are yet to issue an official statement specifically addressing the video.
