Anambra Decides: APGA in early lead as INEC announced six LGA so far

Early results have given preliminary victory to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in all six local government areas announced so far in the ongoing Anambra State governorship election.

The party’s candidate, Charles Soludo, had earlier been reported to have won his polling unit and ward by a wide margin.

Mr Soludo has amassed the highest votes in Onitsha South, Awka South, Anaocha, Anambra East, Orumba South and Njikoka.

Anambra State has 21 local government areas and collation is expected to extend into Sunday.

18 candidates are contesting in the election. None of them is a woman, despite Anambra State is the only state to have had a female governor in Nigeria.

Virginia Etiaba became governor in November 2006 after former Governor Peter Obi was impeached, but she handed over back to Mr Obi in February 2007 after an appeal court nullified the impeachment.

Newsflash Nigeria reporters are on the ground to update you with the votes scored in the local government areas in Anambra State by each of the governorship candidates.
