IMG-20260221-WA0005

As of 10:18 a.m., voter turnout remained significantly low at Ward EC 30 C, Karu Site 2B, in the ongoing FCT Area Council elections. Out of 500 registered voters at the polling unit, only 12 voters had been accredited and cast their ballots, reflecting a slow start to the exercise in the area.

The development comes amid broader participation across the Federal Capital Territory, where residents are voting to elect chairpersons and councillors across the six area councils. Observers at the Karu polling unit reported a calm environment, with electoral officials on ground and voting proceeding without disruption despite the sparse turnout.
