Anambra Governorship Election 2025 Live Results as INEC Uploads 95 Percent to IREV

The Anambra State Governorship Election held on November 8, 2025, marks a pivotal moment in Nigeria's off-cycle electoral calendar. With over 2.8 million registered voters across 21 local government areas, the election features 16 candidates vying for the state's top seat. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has uploaded 95 percent of results to its INEC Result Viewing Portal (IREV), providing transparency and real-time access to polling unit data.

As voting concluded across 5,720 polling units, early trends indicate a competitive race dominated by major parties. Incumbent Governor Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) appears to hold a strong lead, reflecting his administration's focus on infrastructure and economic development. Other key contenders include Nicholas Ukachukwu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), George Moghalu of the Labour Party (LP), and Jude Ezenwafor of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Voter turnout was moderate, influenced by security concerns and economic factors, but the process remained largely peaceful.

INEC's IREV platform has been instrumental in curbing electoral disputes by allowing public verification of results. With 95 percent uploaded, collation at local government levels is underway, and official announcements are expected soon. This guide compiles data from verified sources, including INEC uploads and on-ground reports, to offer the most accurate Anambra Election 2025 results.
