The Anambra Central senatorial election is set for January 16, 2027, with 13 candidates vying for the seat, as announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Among the candidates are the incumbent Senator Victor Umeh (Anambra Central) of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, Uche Ekwunife of the All Progressives Congress, and Dozie Nwankwo of the All Progressive Grand Alliance, which is the ruling party in Anambra State.
