In a tweet shared on Saturday, November 8, 2025, the X user said it was an easy victory for Governor Soludo.
“Congratulations to Prof Charles Chukwuma Soludo @CCSoludo on winning a second term in office as governor of Anambra State.
“This was just too easy. Arguably the easiest term renewal (re-election bid) in Nigeria's election history.”
Verification
According to Dubawa, eligible voters are still voting at their various polling units across the 21 local government areas of the state.
This shows that the off-cycle election is ongoing and no winner has been declared.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is the only body empowered by the constitution to declare winner of election in Nigeria.
Conclusion
INEC is yet to declare a winner for the 2025 Anambra governorship election.
