Mr Chukwuma Soludo, candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has won five Local Government Areas in the ongoing governorship election in Anambra State.
The election was extended on Saturday to Sunday following widespread condemnation of glitches experienced by the BVAS across the state, and late arrival of INEC officials and materials.
The local governments which results have been released with Soludo leading by a wide margin are Awka South, Onitsha South and Enugu Anambra East, Anaocha, and Anambra East.
