As voting in the Anambra election continues, especially in polling units where the BIVAS( electronic voting machines) developed a malfunction, results so far reveal the All Progressives Grand Alliance ( APGA) candidate, Chukwuma Soludo in an early lead.
Meanwhile, a Supervisory Presiding Officer in the ongoing gubernatorial election in Anambra State has allegedly, absconded with 42 result sheets. Dr Gabriel Odor, Collation Officer of Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra, announced this at the head office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Awka, the state capital, during the final collation of results on Sunday.
Odor who is a lecturer at the University of Calabar said because of the development, elections could not hold in the affected areas.
Results show that Soludo of the APGA polled a total of 2,312 votes to Mr Valentine Ozigbo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who had 2,016 votes and Senator Andy Uba of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who secured 1,039 votes.
From the results of the 10 local governments released so far, Soludo is leading in 9. Below is the details of results released so far by the electoral body, INEC.
