Chief Willie Obiano, the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in last Saturday’s governorship election is set to be declared winner of the election.
Obiano was leading in 20 local government areas results received so far . But INEC has deferred declaration of all the results till when the results from Idemili North Local Government Area are collated.
A rerun was held in 65 wards in Idemili North on Sunday. Election was cancelled in the 65 wards because election materials could not be delivered there on Saturday.
But three political parties and their candidates have already called for the cancellation of the election, alleging widespread irregularities.
The parties are the Peoples Democratic Party, the Labour Party and All Progressives Congress, which also boycotted the rerun declared in the 65 polling units in Idemili North Local Government Area on Sunday.
The candidates for the three parties, Tony Nwoye, Ifeanyi Ubah and Chris Ngige, at a joint press conference later in the day rejected the conduct of the election.
The All Progressives Grand Alliance however praised the conduct of the election and said INEC had fulfilledits promise to make the election the best it had ever conducted.
“We are satisfied with the way INEC has conducted this exercise so far. We are thoroughly satisfied with conduct of the security agencies,” the National Chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh, said.
Umeh accused those that questioned the credibility of the election of not being agents of the truth, who were only complaining because it had become clear to them that they would lose.
He said all the reports on the election were positive, saying there was no single report of violence as the police and army were at alert.
On the allegations that APGA rigged the process with INEC, Umeh said, “APGA will never rig election in this state. We believe in due process. We believe in the rule of law.”
Lamenting the way the election was conducted, Ngige said, “As we speak, I weep for Nigeria. I weep for this country called Nigeria. It is a country of great hope.
“But this generation of Nigerians does not want to bequeath anything good to the future generation. We want to keep them in a quagmire so that our children will ask, ‘why did they bring us here.?’
“INEC has taken one step forward in 2011 and three steps backwards in 2013. We do not know if Iwu’s INEC is better than this INEC.”

mr man stop crying fowl and accept the results, i bet if ur party av been winning, it would av been free and fair. Even if the election was redone in the 4 LGA that apc was moaning about, apga will still trump them..

Anybody who think that this election was rigged must be high on cheap weed

VICTORCIZA: Anybody who think that this election was rigged must be high on cheap weed

dont mind the apc goons. Winning 20 out of 21 LGA is no mean feat.. There is nothing like rigging. The people clearly don't want pdp or apc. Election is not won on nairaland or Facebook, but on the ground in anambra and that's what apga did.. APC can moan forever, but that wouldn't change anything

Congrat Mr New Governor of Anmbra state

Even pdp hailed the good conduct of the election

victor2020: Even pdp hailed the good conduct of the election

how come Tony Nwoye is not "hailing" it from your original post?

Whoever wins other than Ngige, my CONGRATULOBIA to them

I will not take a position on the anambra elections until I read the report of both national and international election observers, but this election is a dress rehersal for the 2015 elections. But if it was massively rigged as alleged then we are in for a very violent time in 2015. I would advice people to relocate to their ethnic enclaves before the elections for safety.

Having said that, even if this election is declared free and fair, it still cannot pass as a representation of the wishes of Anambra citizen. An election where less than 30% of registered voters voted or were allowed to vote, or put in another way, an election were less than 15% of registered voters or less than 5% of the total population supported and voted the governors cannot be a true representation of the wishes of the people. Even the total number of registered members of APGA or APC would be close to the 200,000 - 250,000 votes that would win this election, so in effect the ordinary voter had little input in the elections.

PDP Nwoye who stated compaign some days ago even claimed the second position. This reminds me of Ondo state election where akeredolu claimed 3rd position and still crying foul...... Anyway we are still watching
