Anambra Decides: APGA Wins 10 of 11 LGAs Announced
Valenine Ozigbo, the PDP candidate, polled 3,445 votes to defeat Chukwuma Soludo, candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), who polled 3,051 votes, while the All Progressives Congress (APC) got 1,178 votes.
Ogbaru, which is the LGA of Stella Oduah, senator representing Anambra north, is PDP’s first win among the LGAs announced so far.
Oduah, who was elected to the senate on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), defected to the APC in August.
However, Soludo, who lost Nnewi North LGA to Ifeanyi Ubah, candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), has won 15 out of 17 LGAs.
