The Anambra State chapter of Labour Party, LP, has held a factional primary election to elect governorship candidate of the party for the November 8, 2025 governorship election.

This is coming after last week’s primary election of the party where another candidate, Dr George Moghalu had been elected as candidate.

Another aspirant of the party, Mr John Nwosu had pulled out of the previous election, citing irregularities and incompetence on the part of the Julius Abure-led party to hold the election, having been sacked by the Supreme Court.

In Thursday’s primary election, John Nwosu stood for the election against Jude Umejiego and lost. Umejiego polled 180 votes to floor Nwosu who polled 69 votes.

Acting chairman of the electoral committee, Sunday Okereke while declaring the results said: “With the powers conferred on me by the electoral act 2022, and the guidelines of our party, I hereby declare and return Hon Jude Umejiego as the duly elected candidate of Labour Party for the November 8, 2025.”

The candidate, Umejiego, in his acceptance speech pledged to work hard for the victory of the party. He said LP will use Anambra as a model to showcase the party’s plan to turn Nigeria around from a consumption to a production nation.

Umejiego, a member of the Anambra State House of Assembly who represents Onitsha South two state constituency also announced his running mate, Hon Henry Mbachu, also a member of the state House of Assembly, who represents Awka South 1 state constituency.
