The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday has released the final list of candidates to participate in the upcoming November 6 gubernatorial election in Anambra State.

According to the list, INEC has finally confirmed Valentine Ozigbo as the official flagbearer of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The electoral commission has also confirmed former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN), Prof Chukwuma Charles Soludo, as the flagbearer of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

Recall that the names of the duo were missing on the first list of candidates published by INEC. The commission had earlier published a sitting member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Chukwuma Michael Umeoji, as the flagbearer of the APGA in the upcoming polls, while the PDP’s slot was left blank.

But INEC in its latest list has now confirmed the names of Ozigbo and Soludo.

This was announced in a statement issued by INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr Festus Okoye.

The list of the names is also available on the official website of the electoral commission. The list has the names of candidates from 18 political parties, all males.

Also, Andy Uba and Ifeanyi Ubah remain the respective governorship candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Young Progressive Congress (YPP).
