Anambra: First litmus test for Amupitan
Voters cast their votes to determine a new governor who will oversee the affairs of Anambra state for the next four years.
16 candidates, according to INEC, are competing for the highest political office in the state, with the four-year tenure of Governor Charles Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) expected to end in March 2026.
However, this election is not only about the candidates alone. The process is a defining moment for the new INEC chairman, Joash Amupitan. His emergence at the helm of Nigeria’s electoral body came amid heightened public expectations for transparent polls and institutional integrity in the country.
Many Nigerians see the Anambra election as the first real measure of Amupitan’s leadership.
