Anambra Governorship Elections: Security Concerns as 16 Candidates Vie for Power

Anambra State gears up for governorship elections with Chukwuma Soludo of APGA and 15 other candidates vying for the position. INEC, led by Chairman Joash Amupitan, faces a significant test in conducting the polls.

Security is a major focus, with 50,000 policemen deployed, amid fears of voter intimidation and low turnout. The state's history of electoral violence, legal battles, and political rivalries, including past challenges by Peter Obi and Chris Ngige, adds complexity to the electoral landscape.
