The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has officially declared Prof Charles Soludo winner of the Anambra State Governorship election conducted Saturday, Nov 8,2025.
Soludo, according to Prof. Edoba Omoregie, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Edo State who served as Returning Officer for the election declared the incumbent governor winner, thereby giving him mandate for a second term, of another four years.
The result was announced early this morning, Sunday.
The Returning Officer, while declaring the results noted that Prof Soludo polled a total of 422,664 votes to be re-elected for second term, while the All Progressives Congress, APC, Nicholas Ukachukwu came second with 99,445 of total votes cast.
“The election was contested and a winner emerged, the candidate with the highest number of votes cast, and percentage have all been computed. I, therefore, declare that Soludo Charles Chukwuma, of the APGA, having satisfied the requirements of the law, has scored the highest number of votes in this election, is hereby, declared the winner, and return elected,” Omoregie summarized.
The Labour Party candidate, Chief George Moghalu said he would come up with formal reaction later today.
The ADC candidate, Chief Chuma Nwosu also postponed his reaction to later today.
But his aide Barrister Ben Chuks Nwosu decried what happened in the election as nauseating.
According to him it was akin to an open stock market of cash buying and selling of votes at the polling areas all over the state.
Chief Dozie Nwankwo, a chieftain of APGA and two-time House of Reps member who ran for Anambra Central senatorial election for APGA in the last general election said the Governorship poll result wasn’t surprising to anyone.
According to him, any keen and sincere follower of trends in Anambra State knows that Gov Soludo would have no real challenge. He did so well that everyone want the solution to continue for the next four years.
Gov Soludo deserve his second term so as not to interrupt all ongoing solution projects.
He also would not want disrupt the zoning flow of events and governance in Anambra.
I humbly congratulate him and APGA for a landslide victory.
