All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Engineer Atinuke Owolabi has expressed concern over the high voter apathy in Aramoko-Ekiti ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to her, about 73% of registered voters in the community did not participate in the 2023 presidential election. To tackle this issue, Owolabi has launched a community voter sensitisation campaign, "My Vote, My Voice," aimed at increasing electoral participation and reducing rejected votes.
The campaign, held in Aramoko, Ekiti Central Senatorial District, focused on educating residents about the importance of voting and the electoral process. Owolabi highlighted the 2023 election statistics, revealing that out of 17,426 registered voters in Aramoko I and II, only 4,680 votes were cast, with 6,301 ballots rejected. She emphasized that voter education is crucial for strengthening democracy and preventing the recurrence of low voter turnout and rejected votes.
