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 The Eastern Updates.
The Eastern Updates 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.”

A press release by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Ejimofor Opara which, was made available to journalists on Sunday, said 73 percent of the total votes cast and victories in 98 percent of the 326 electoral wards across the state, showed that Anambra people have once again delivered a clear, unequivocal, and overwhelming mandate.
He said the result affirmed the trust of the people in Governor Soludo’s visionary leadership, his bold reforms, and unwavering commitment to building a liveable and prosperous homeland.
