Chukwuma Soludo, the All Progressives Grand Alliance’s (APGA) candidate for governor of Anambra State, has won 19 of the 21 local government districts that have been announced thus far.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is still compiling results at its headquarters in the state capital of Awka.
The procedure will go on until all 21 local government districts have been designated, according to officials.
According to the data that has been made public thus far, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has received 91,592 votes, while the APGA has received 389,789. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) got 1,230 votes, while the Labour Party (LP) comes in second with 10,366.
As the counting draws to a close, Soludo’s impressive performance puts him in a comfortable position.
If the pattern persists in the other LGAs, it is widely anticipated that Professor Soludo would win a second term as governor.
Shortly after voting and counting in the majority of the state’s polling places concluded, the State Returning Officer at INEC’s Awka office oversaw the collation process.
