Former Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), George Muoghalu, has emerged as the Labour Party’s flagbearer for the November 8, 2025, governorship election in Anambra State.
Muoghalu secured the ticket after polling 575 votes during the party’s primary held on Saturday in Awka, the state capital.
The primary was supervised by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the party’s electoral committee, and other accredited observers.
The exercise, which took place at Finotel Hotel, was peaceful, with delegates conducting themselves in an orderly manner throughout the accreditation, voting, sorting, and counting processes
Muoghalu’s co-contender, John Nwosu, who had withdrawn from the contest earlier on Saturday, still garnered nineteen votes.
Reacting to his victory, Muoghalu said the party’s trust in him would not be misplaced as the defining moment for Anambra has come, adding that it was the time to build a prosperous and an inclusive state.
Moghalu will be challenging the incumbent governor who also emerged as the consensus candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) on Saturday.
Soludo, who was returned unopposed, polled over 300 affirmative votes during the primary which also held in Awka.
