As results continue to trickle in from several polling units across Anambra, and going by the tally APGA is currently in an early lead.

No fewer than three major parties—including the APC, the PDP, the Zenith Labour Party— are contesting the guber election in the APGA-ruled state.

Most wards in Awka South, Awka North, Aguata, Anambra West, Njikoka and other local governments had completed their election with Charles Soludo of APGA leading APC’s Andy Uba, PDP Valentine Ozigbo, YPP’s  Ifeanyi Ubah, and others.

Live results collated as of 12pm on Sunday revealed Soludo leading with 26082 votes, followed by PDP’s Ozigbo, with 14984 and APC’s Uba polling 14949.

Following delay in other areas across the state Saturday, INEC has announced the continuation of voting to Sunday.

Meanwhile, hoodlums disrupted the exercise in some communities as election materials meant for over 57 polling units were allegedly snatched.

Oba 1 and 2 wards, RAs, Idemili South Local Government Area were affected by the activities of the hoodlums.
