#AnambraDecides2021: Despite APGA lead, Poll might be declared inconclusive

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, might not declare anyone winner of the Anambra state governorship election which began on Nov. 6.

Though the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has maintained its lead by the results announced so far by INEC.

The APGA candidate won in 17 of the 21 local government areas of the state. One local government was won by the PDP’s Valentine Ozigbo (Ogbaru) while the candidate of the YPP, Ifeanyi Ubah, also won in one local government (Nnewi North).

However, the collation officers for two local government areas (Ihiala and Orumba North) said at the INEC collation centre that elections did not hold in their local governments.

While Prof. Chukwuma Soludo leads his closest challenger, Mr Ozigbo, with over 45,000 votes, Ihiala local government alone has over 148,000 registered voters.

The election may thus be declared inconclusive to allow for rerun elections in the two affected local governments and other polling units where elections did not hold.

The collation of the state’s election result continues on Sunday and so far, the results of 21 LGAs has been turned in.
