The gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Charles Soludo, has won in 10 of the 11 local government areas formally announced by the electoral commission, INEC, at its headquarters in Anambra.

Soludo defeated all the other 17 candidates in each of the 10 local governments. However, Ifeanyi Ubah of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) won in Nnewi North Local Government Area.
