The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in the ongoing 2025 Anambra State election, Prince Ukachukwu, has won his polling unit.
The result was announced by the Presiding Officer, IfeanyiChukwu Chikams Peace at about 4:01pm on Saturday.
Ukachukwu cast his vote at Polling Unit 12, Ward 2, Umudiala village, in Osumenyi, Nnewi South Local Government Area.
He scored 108 votes in Booth 1, while the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate received four votes.
In Booth 2, APC secured 126 votes, compared with six votes for APGA.
Shortly after voting, Ukachukwu alleged widespread vote buying across the state, describing it as a “menace” that could cripple the country’s electoral process if left unchecked.
He claimed that some party agents had been attacked in areas such as Utuh in Nnewi South and called on security agencies to enforce the law and prevent electoral fraud.
Despite the allegations, Ukachukwu expressed confidence that his party would emerge victorious, emphasising that voting was a civic duty and proof of his qualification to both vote and be voted for.
He also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the timely arrival of election materials and officials, which he said helped streamline the process.
