Professor Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has won the 2025 Anambra State governorship election in a sweeping victory across all 21 local government areas.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Soludo re-elected on Sunday in Awka, following Saturday’s election that saw him polling 422,664 votes. His closest challenger, Nicholas Ukachukwu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), trailed with 99,445 votes, while the Young Progressives Party (YPP) candidate, Sir Paul Chukwuma, secured third place with 37,753 votes.
The election, which INEC described as largely peaceful, had 598,229 accredited voters out of 2.7 million registered. A total of 595,298 votes were cast, with 584,054 counted as valid and 11,244 rejected.
Returning Officer, Prof. Edoba Omoregie, who announced the results at the state collation centre, confirmed Soludo’s win, noting that while minor disruptions led to cancellations in a few polling units in Anambra West, Anaocha, Awka South, and Onitsha South, the margin of victory remained well above the total number of affected votes.
“With 422,664 votes, the candidate of APGA has fulfilled the legal requirements and is declared winner of the 2025 Anambra State governorship election,” Omoregie said.
