Anambra governorship election: Result not reflection of people’s wishes – LP candidate Moghalu

The Labour Party candidate in the recently concluded Anambra State governorship election, George Moghalu, has said the outcome does not reflect the wishes of the people of Anambra.

Moghalu made the statement in an interview on Sunday Politics, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST.

DAILY POST reports that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Sunday declared incumbent governor Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, the winner of the election.

Reacting, Moghalu said: “The truth about it is that the election yesterday is actually not a true reflection of the wishes of ‘ndi’ Anambra (people of Anambra). A few things went wrong. The issue of vote-buying. There were instances where there was voter intimidation and party agents were brutalised.

“There were a few things that happened before the election, which brought us to where we are today. When I heard the number of policemen deployed to manage this election, I felt confident, but here we are. The policemen were around, but people were seen buying votes everywhere, and it was clear.”
