The ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) took an early
lead in the Anambra gubernatorial election held yesterday.
Early results show incumbent Governor Willie Obiano and his APGA
clinching victory in most of the polling units which results have been
announced since voting closed Saturday evening. With the All Progressives
Congress (APC) chasing by some margin and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
following closely behind.
The election had proceeded without
catastrophic hitches that marred previous elections, earning the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies the praise of most
of the candidates and their parties.
Residents of the state turned out in large
numbers in most of the polling units to cast their votes, disregarding calls
and threats by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IBOP) for people to
boycott the elections.
