The All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Sen. Andy Uba, got a total of 42,942 votes to emerge the third.

Hundreds of political associates, youths, and women flocked to Soludo’s residence in Isuofia as they awaited the results, according to the Nigerian News Agency (NAN).

Some people told NAN that they believed the PDP candidate would win at the end of the election process.

Mrs Chioma Ocha expressed her delight at the prospect of a governor from her community.

“We are here to show solidarity to our brother and son while we wait for INEC to announce the final result.

“But I’m particularly happy that my town, Isuofia, will be producing the next governor of Anambra. That is a very big achievement, ” she said.

Also speaking, Mr Chinedu Ogubuiro said he came to jubilate with Soludo ahead of INEC’s announcement.

“I am one of Soludo’s kinsmen and I want to be on ground to celebrate with him when INEC announces the results of the election,” he said.

Soludo who joined the crowd in singing urged them to be patient as INEC makes effort to announce the election result.

Meanwhile, INEC has suspended collation of results pending the conduct of the election in Ihiala Local Government Area.

INEC Returning Officer for the Anambra Governorship election, Prof. Florence Obi, explained that the suspension was because election could not hold in the LGA due to security reasons.
