The incumbent governor of Anambra State and candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Charles Chukwuma Soludo is set to be declared re-elected for a second term after winning Saturday’s election in all the 21 local government areas of the state.
Sources reports that although INEC had formally announced the results at its headquarters in Awka, but was still conducting a final calculation of the figures before declaring Mr Soludo the winner of the election.
To be declared the winner, a candidate must secure the highest number of votes and at least 25 per cent of the votes in no fewer than two-thirds (14) of the state’s local government areas (LGAs).
According to Premium Times, the results officially announced by INEC shows that by winning in each of the 21 local government areas, Governor Soludo has already surpassed the constitutional requirement and so will be declared the winner of the election.
Recall Soludo was first elected governor about four years ago and will conclude his first term next March. His victory in Saturday’s election would mean he would then be sworn in for a second and final term as governor.
For Saturday’s election, Mr Soludo was up against Nicholas Ukachukwu of the All Progressive Congress, George Moghalu of the Labour Party and thirteen other contenders.
A total of 16 political parties took part in the election.
