Ogbaru, which is the LGA of Stella Oduah, senator
representing Anambra north, is PDP’s first win
among the LGAs announced so far.
Oduah, who was elected to the senate on the
platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
defected to the APC in August.

Ifeanyi Ubah, candidate of the Young
Progressives Party (YPP), has won 15 out of 17
