Anambra Election: Soludo wins all 14 LGAs announced by INEC
POLITICS DIGEST- Prof Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has garnered more votes than his main challengers in Saturday’s governorship election, winning all the 14 local government areas results announced so far by the electoral office INEC.
The state has 21 local government areas and the candidates of APC and PDP are the runners-up so far.
Mr Soludo, 61, has been locked in a close contest with Andy Uba of the All Progressives Congress, Valentine Ozigbo of the Peoples Democratic Party and Ifeanyi Ubah of the Young Progressives Party.
The candidates are seeking to replace Governor Willie Obiano, the only APGA governor in the country.
Mr Obiano supported Mr Soludo during the primaries and pulled resources that aided his ardent campaign against candidates of the two biggest political parties, APC and PDP.
The 14 LGAs so far announced are Onitsha South, Ndemili South, Anyamelum, Oyi, Dunukofia, Awka South, Aguata, Anaocha, Orumba North, Orumba South, Njikoka, Nnewi North and Anambra East.
However, voting will be allowed to continue on Sunday across polling units where delays were forced by widespread voting machine malfunctions.
From announced results, APGA scored 68,436; PDP scored 30,388; and APC scored 26,756.
