Anambra: Soludo Widens Lead As INEC Extends Voting To Sunday

Prof Chukwuma Soludo, candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has maintained a lead in one-third of the entire Local Government Areas in Anambra State where elections held on Saturday.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has, however, extended voting to Sunday in areas where the voting could not hold or was delayed on account of the malfunctioning of the newly deployed Bimodal Voter Accreditation System.

There are 21 LGAs in the state and the APGA candidate has cleared out all the seven LGAs that have been announced so far.

The LGAs are  Orumba South, Njijoka, Awka South, Onitsha South, Enugu Anambra East, Anaocha, and Anambra East.

Neither APC nor the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has won any LGA where results have been declared.

As of two hours ago when INEC updated the results, Soludo was leading in five LGAs. By the time when two new LGAs were announced, the APGA candidate still carried the day there.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed Sunday for the final collation.

In the meantime, below are the results of the seven the LGAs of Anambra State that have been announced so far showing how Soludo has maintained a lead.

Njikoka LGA

APC – 3216

APGA – 8803

PDP – 3409

Orumba South LGA

APC: 2,060

APGA: 4394

PDP: 1672

AWKA SOUTH LGA

APGA: 9746

PDP: 1380

Should Soludo maintain the lead he would be in good position to win the Anambra governorship election in a canter.
