<p>As the four-year tenure of Governor Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) approaches its end in March 2026, political activity intensifies in Anambra State. Voters are set to elect his successor in a poll scheduled for Saturday, November 8, 2025.</p>
<p>While the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has listed 16 candidates for the race, political analysts have identified six major contenders, largely due to their parties&#8217; influence and political stature:</p>
<p>Chukwuma Soludo (APGA): The incumbent Governor, seeking re-election.</p><div class="l69oIUH6" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>Nicholas Ukachukwu (APC): The candidate of the All Progressives Congress.</p>
<p>George Moghalu (LP): Representing the Labour Party.<br />
Chuma Nwosu (ADC): The candidate of the African Democratic Congress.</p>
<p>Geoffrey Onyejegbu (NNPP): The flag-bearer for the New Nigeria Peoples Party.</p>
<p>The contest is expected to be highly competitive, with these six candidates dominating the electioneering campaigns and public discourse.</p>
<p>The fate of the candidates, who have rolled out their agendas—improving security, health, education, and the economy—to woo the Anambra electorate, remains uncertain until the close of the polls on Saturday.</p>
<p>Judging from past elections, characterised by irregularities, Nigerians view this off-cycle election as a litmus test for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) under its new chairman, Joash Amupitan, who has vowed to reform the country’s electoral process and deliver credible and transparent polls.</p>
<p>Other candidates cleared by INEC are Echezona Oti of the Allied People’s Movement (APM), Chioma Ifemeludike of the African Action Congress (AAC), Jeff Nweke of Action Alliance (AA), and Charles Onyeze of Accord Party (AP).</p>
<p>Also, Paul Chukwuma of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Chukwudubem Nweke of the Action Peoples Party (APP), Jerry Okeke of the Boot Party (BP), Ndidi Olieh of the National Rescue Movement (NRM), Martin Ugwoji of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), and Vincent Chukwurah of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) were cleared to contest in the poll.</p>
