The Anambra State governorship election on November 8, 2025, began with low voter turnout and delays in some areas, as reported across polling units. Incumbent Governor Chukwuma Soludo of APGA expressed optimism for victory, while candidates from APC and LP alleged widespread vote buying. Observers noted a generally peaceful process despite these issues.
Opposition parties in Anambra State have urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to investigate the state government's spending ahead of the November 8 governorship election. The call follows Governor Charles Soludo's pledge of financial rewards to wards won by his All Progressives Grand Alliance. Critics accuse the move of vote buying, while the government insists it is mere motivation.
