The All  Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) party is winning in at least 16 local governments area according to unofficial election results tallied by Independent National Election Commission officials.

 According to INEC officials, APGA also did well in two other local governments despite the massive irregularities that occurred during the election.

INEC is holding off on full announcement of collated results until elections are concluded in 65 polling units in Obosi, Idemili North local government area by midday today.

 The All  Progressive Congress (APC) party is expected to come second with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) trailing in the third place while Labour Party (LP) will likely come fourth.

 INEC is expected to officially announce  the results this evening  in Awka the state capital where the agency would likely declare APGA candidate, Willie Obiano as “Governor -Elect” of Anambra State.

But three political parties and their candidates have already called for the cancellation of the election, alleging widespread irregularities.

The parties are the Peoples Democratic Party, the Labour Party and All Progressives Congress, which also boycotted the rerun declared in the 65 polling units in Idemili North Local Government Area on Sunday.

The candidates for the three parties, Tony Nwoye, Ifeanyi Ubah and Chris Ngige, at a joint press conference later in the day rejected the conduct of the election.

The All Progressives Grand Alliance however praised the conduct of the election and said INEC had fulfilled its promise to make the election the best it had ever conducted.

“We are satisfied with the way INEC has conducted this exercise so far. We are thoroughly satisfied with conduct of the security agencies,” the National Chairman of the party, Chief Victor Umeh, said.

Umeh accused those that questioned the credibility of the election of not being agents of the truth, who were only complaining because it had become clear to them that they would lose.

He said all the reports on the election were positive, saying there was no single report of violence as the police and army were at alert.

On the allegations that APGA rigged the process with INEC, Umeh said, “APGA will never rig election in this state. We believe in due process. We believe in the rule of law.”

Lamenting the way the election was conducted, Ngige said, “As we speak, I weep for Nigeria. I weep for this country called Nigeria. It is a country of great hope.

“But this generation of Nigerians does not want to bequeath anything good to the future generation. We want to keep them in a quagmire so that our children will ask, ‘why did they bring us here.?’

“INEC has taken one step forward in 2011 and three steps backwards in 2013. We do not know if Iwu’s INEC is better than this INEC.”
