Here’s a rewritten version that keeps the meaning but sounds original and more polished:
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has reassured residents of Enugu North Senatorial District that Saturday’s by-election will be conducted in a transparent, peaceful, and credible manner.
Speaking in Enugu on Thursday, the Head of Voter Education at INEC Enugu, Chuka Achumie, said the commission had finalized all necessary preparations for the poll.
The by-election is being held to fill the vacant senatorial seat left after the death of Okey Ezea, who previously represented Enugu North in the Senate.
Voting will take place across the six local government areas in the district—Igbo-Etiti, Igbo-Eze North, Igbo-Eze South, Nsukka, Udenu, and Uzo-Uwani.
INEC has approved seven candidates from various political parties to participate in the election.
Achumie emphasized the commission’s commitment to fairness and transparency, stressing that INEC would only proceed with the election if it could guarantee a credible process.
“If we are not prepared to conduct free and credible elections, we will not conduct them,” he stated.
He added that preparations were progressing smoothly, with no major issues affecting the commission’s readiness.
According to him, the distribution of sensitive election materials is scheduled to begin on Thursday ahead of the exercise.
Achumie also assured all participating political parties and candidates of equal treatment, noting that every contestant would be given a fair opportunity.
On voter awareness, he explained that INEC had intensified efforts to educate eligible voters on the importance of participating in the election and maintaining peace throughout the process.
He urged residents of the senatorial district to come out in large numbers to perform their civic duty, assuring them that adequate arrangements had been made for a successful election.
