Governor Peter Obi has been declared winner of the February 6, 2010 gubernatorial election in Anambra state. He was declaed winner at 9 am today by the state’s resident electoral commissioner, Mr. Josiah Uwazuronye in Awka, Anambra. Peter Obi was said to have won 97,832 of the votes; Chris Ngige won 60,240 of the votes while Charles Soludo won 59,359 of the votes. Governor Peter Obi won 13 out of the 21 LGAs in Anambra. Many analysts had expected a much closer race.
According to the election observers, the elections were relatively free and fair despite minor hitches here and there.
INEC, which had earlier indicated it would cancel the elections in two LGAs decided to shelve the idea following the extent of landslide by the incumbent governor. It said the cancelation of the exercise in the two LGAs would not affect the outcome of the exercise.
