The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, candidate in the ongoing Anambra Governorship election, Mr Charles Soludo, has extended his lead from five to seven as results from two more local governments came in.
Voting is continuing on Sunday (today) as voters are out to complete the exercise following mechanical glitches and late arrival of INEC officials and materials as well as pockets of ballot box snatching.
With the seven local governments turned in, Soludo has taken a commanding lead in all the seven LGAs.
