LIVE: Results From Ihiala LGA In Anambra Supplementary Election

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has commenced the supplementary election in Ihiala local government after declaring the November 6 exercise inconclusive.

Recall that Florence Obi, the returning officer for the Governorship Election, had declared the election inconclusive because not a single ballot was cast in Ihiala Local Government Area, which has a total of 148,487 registered voters, 20 Wards and 323 Polling units.

Prof Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is leading with a total of 103,946 votes.

Mr. Valentine Ozigbo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is next with got 51,322 votes while Andy Uba of the All Progressives Congress (APC) trails with 42,942 votes.

The margin between Soludo and Ozigbo is 52,624 votes, and according to INEC, a winner could not be declared because the margin between the two leading candidates is far less than that of the registered voters who have not had the opportunity to vote in Ihiala.
