Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo has emerged as the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate for the upcoming Anambra State governorship election scheduled for November 8, 2025.
The APGA primary election was held on Saturday at the Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka, where Soludo stood as the sole contestant.
Announcing the results, the Chief Returning Officer, Uche Nwegbo, declared:
“Out of 3,260 delegates, 3,175 were accredited. A total of 3,172 votes were cast, with four votes declared invalid. Governor Soludo polled 3,168 ‘yes’ votes and no ‘no’ votes.”
“In line with INEC guidelines, I hereby declare Prof. Chukwuma Soludo as the duly elected candidate of APGA for the 2025 governorship election.”
In his acceptance speech, Soludo expressed gratitude and confidence in the party’s support, saying:
“I am humbled by this historic show of solidarity. Anambra is APGA and APGA is Anambra. We are just getting started—Anambra has not seen anything yet.”
Highlighting his administration’s achievements, the governor noted that his government has been delivering results without borrowing funds and promised even more development in the next term.
Soludo also used the occasion to announce his running mate, re-nominating Dr. Onyeka Ibezim, his current deputy.
“If it’s not broken, why mend it?” Soludo said, reinforcing confidence in their current partnership.
He concluded by thanking supporters, party members, INEC observers, and donors—especially market women and grassroots groups—who continue to back his second-term bid.ren, Ughelli South LGA, Delta State.
