Despite a boycott by other parties, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has cleared all chairmanship and councilorship seats in the Anambra State Local Government Election held on Saturday.
The results, officially announced by the state’s Independent Electoral Commission (ANSIEC), revealed that APGA candidates swept through all 21 local government areas in the state.
APGA, a dominant force in Anambra State politics for years, secured victories in both rural and urban areas, defying predictions of a more competitive contest.

DAILY GAZETTE reports that the election witnessed low voter turnout, as several parties in the state chose to boycott the election.
Some residents expressed their support for APGA candidates, citing improved governance and development under Governor Soludo’s administration.
The voting exercise, which commenced late at many polling units across the state due to the late arrival of ANSIEC ad-hoc staff and election materials, was predominantly conducted by APGA members.

This indicated an obvious boycott by members of other political parties, some of which are currently in various courts challenging the validity of the council polls.
