Governor Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has won re-election in the Anambra State governorship election, securing 422,664 votes across all 21 Local Government Areas (LGAs).
From the collated results by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) early Sunday, Governor Soludo is far ahead of Nicholas Ukachukwu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) with 99,445 votes.
In third place is Paul Chukwuma of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), who garnered 33,652 votes, George Moghalu of the Labour Party (LP) has been credited with 10,482 votes, John Chuma Nwosu of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is fifth with 8,317 votes, while Jude Ezenwafor of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is sixth with 1,774 votes.
INEC is now set to announce Soludo as the winner of the Anambra governorship election which recorded a low turnout of about 576,000 from 2.7 million accredited voters.
Meanwhile, the National Chairman of APGA, Barr. Sylvester Ezeokenwa, on Saturday expressed confidence in the conduct of the Anambra governorship election, describing the process as largely peaceful and credible despite isolated cases of technical and logistical challenges.
Speaking with journalists at Immaculate Parish Ward 4, Ezeokenwa said the election had been “seamless, except for a few polling units where the BVAS machines malfunctioned.”
He noted that INEC had already deployed technical teams to resolve the issues. He also confirmed that reports of missing result sheets in some polling units were promptly addressed.
“I must commend our APGA agents across the state; they have lived up to expectations. We trained them on the basic requirements to perform their responsibilities effectively,” he said.
