The All Progressives Grand Alliance candidate, Chukwuma Soludo, continues to dominate the Anambra State governorship election, taking a commanding lead in 19 local government areas declared so far.
The Independent National Electoral Commission began collating results at its headquarters in Awka, the state capital, following the completion of counting in most polling units across the state.
Results from 19 LGs announced so far indicated that APGA polled 389,789 votes, followed by the All Progressives Congress with 91,592, Labour Party with 10,366, and the Peoples Democratic Party with 1,230.
With two LGAs remaining to be collated, APGA’s candidate maintains a comfortable lead and is on track to secure a second term in Anambra State.
The collation exercise, presided over by the State Returning Officer at INEC’s headquarters in Awka, is expected to continue until all 21 local government areas have been announced.
