Speaking at a victory celebration in Nanka on Sunday, Soludo declared that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has no presence in Anambra, while the Labour Party has lost its relevance in the state.

“ADC does not exist in Anambra. We proved it yesterday. Labour Party is dead,” Soludo said to the cheers of supporters.

According to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), APGA’s Emmanuel Nwachukwu won the Anambra South Senatorial District by-election with 90,408 votes, defeating Azuka Okwuosa of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who polled 19,847 votes, and ADC’s Donald Amangbo, who managed 2,889 votes. Nwachukwu now replaces the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, who passed away in July 2024.

Similarly, APGA’s Ifeoma Azikiwe emerged victorious in the Onitsha North Constituency 1 State Assembly by-election.

Reacting to the outcome, Soludo said Labour Party chieftains, including its 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, formed a coalition to challenge APGA but were decisively rejected by the electorate.

“Onitsha North is the home constituency of the former Labour Party presidential candidate. He and other senators and Reps members stormed the area, but the people spoke loudly,” Soludo said.

He stressed that the by-election served as a litmus test for the ADC’s strength in Anambra but ended as a landslide victory for APGA.

“The signal is clear: ADC has no footing here, and Labour Party is finished in Anambra,” Soludo declared.
