PDP Stands Against Anambra Local Government Election Outcomes

The Anambra State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has formally rejected the results of the recent local government chairmanship and councillorship elections. Chigozie Igwe, the Anambra PDP Chairman, accused the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission (ANSIEC) of manipulating the election held last Saturday in favor of candidates from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA)……CONTINUE READING 

In an interview with newsmen on Monday, Igwe claimed that election materials were distributed unfairly, undermining the integrity of the electoral process. According to Naija News, ANSIEC Chairperson Mrs. Genevieve Osakwe announced that APGA candidates won in all 21 local government councils and 326 wards.

Igwe asserted that, contrary to Osakwe’s claims of a free and fair election, the process was a mere charade. He stated, “From the pre-election period through to the election, the process was anything but fair.” He emphasized that the PDP had prepared thoroughly for the elections, including selling forms, screening nominees, conducting primaries, and running campaigns—all within the one-month notice provided.

However, he alleged that on election day, ANSIEC distributed materials and officials arbitrarily. “No results were released at any polling station, including Zikdton Primary School in Nza Ozubulu, where I voted. What they conducted was a charade in the name of an election. Therefore, we reject any results they have announced,” Igwe declared.
