The candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Prof. Charles Soludo, has been re-elected as the governor of Anambra State following a sweeping victory at the polls held on Saturday.
Soludo dominated the race, winning in all 21 local government areas of the state, according to TheCable.
Announcing the results at the collation centre in Awka on Sunday, the returning officer, Edoma Omoregie, declared Soludo the winner after he garnered 422,664 votes. His closest rival, Nicholas Ukachukwu, came a distant second with 99,445 votes.
He served as the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) from 2004 to 2009, where he led major banking reforms that strengthened Nigeria’s financial system.
In 2021, Soludo was first elected governor of Anambra State under the platform APGA, continuing the party’s dominance in the state’s politics.
