Speaking during the event, Ikeagu said, \u201cWe are here to present the certificates of return to the Governor and Deputy Governor of Anambra State, following their successful outing during the state governorship election held on Saturday, November 8, 2025. Section 72(1) of the Electoral Act 2022 mandates the Independent National Electoral Commission to issue a certificate of return within 14 days to every candidate duly returned by the returning officer. In compliance with this provision, I have the honour to present the certificates to the Governor and Deputy Governor-elect.\u201d<\/p>\n

With 422,664 votes, Soludo<\/a>, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), won the race handily. Paul Chukwuma of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) came in third with 37,753 votes, while Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was his nearest opponent with 99,445 votes.<\/p>\n
