APGA political mobilization and election results in Anambra

Overview

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is mobilizing support across Anambra State in preparation for upcoming local government elections. In Nnewi, incumbent Executive Chairman Hon. Echezona Anazodo held a unity rally to consolidate his position, receiving endorsements from various traditional rulers and the Igwe Nnewi.

Governor Chukwuma Soludo has reinforced this momentum, describing APGA as an ‘unshakeable political fortress’ during a parade in the Anambra East Local Government Area. Soludo emphasized a focus on accountability, transparency, and grassroots mobilization. He also indicated that the state administration would soon unveil candidates for presidential, senatorial, and legislative positions ahead of the general elections.

Following the local elections held on August 29, 2026, the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission (ANSIEC) presented Certificates of Return to newly elected officials during a ceremony in Awka on September 1, 2026. According to results announced by ANSIEC, APGA secured all 21 chairmanship seats and 364 councillorship positions.

As political activity shifts toward legislative goals, APGA candidate Dr. Paul Ebuka Ileka has presented a legislative blueprint for the Nnewi North State Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly. His platform focuses on sustainable public infrastructure and professionalizing the building industry to address issues such as substandard materials and delays in building approvals. He also proposed mandatory batch testing for public and multi-storey private projects to mitigate erosion caused by improper drainage.
