The incumbent Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, is leading with a wide margin in the ongoing governorship election held on Saturday.
Our correspondent reports that Governor Soludo, who is seeking re-election on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), has so far won the majority of votes cast across all 21 local government areas of the state.
He is trailed by Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), while Barr. Paul of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) and Chief George Moghalu of the Labour Party (LP) followed distantly.
As of Sunday morning, results from 18 out of the 21 LGAs had been officially announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), with collation officials taking a brief break before resuming the exercise.
