The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Anambra governorship election has been slated for Nov. 6 by INEC.

 GreenWhiteGreen GWG reports that 16 persons have shown interest in the ticket of the PDP which has not governed the state since Dr. Chris Ngige’s election was annulled by the court in 2006.

The APC on its part has never governed the state and the morale of party members was recently deflated when the party’s 2017 governorship candidate, Dr. Tony Nwoye defected to join the PDP.
