Anambra has spoken — and it’s a clean sweep for Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo.
As the sun rose over Awka on Sunday morning, the final results from Saturday’s governorship election painted a clear picture of the people’s choice.
Across all 21 local government areas, from Ihiala to Anambra West, Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) delivered a resounding victory.
The long night of collation, which began just after midnight, was presided over by the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) Returning Officer, Prof. Edogah Omoregie, Vice Chancellor of the University of Benin. Joined by party agents, observers, and journalists, the process stretched into the early hours.
By the early hours of Sunday, the figures revealed a decisive outcome. The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), led by Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, surged far ahead with 422,664 votes. Trailing behind was the All Progressives Congress (APC) with 99,445 votes, while the Labour Party (LP) recorded 10,505 votes. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) came in fourth with 1,401 votes,
While INEC’s formal declaration is still awaited, the figures leave little ambiguity — Soludo has claimed victory across the board.
