AWKA — The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) is set to contest Saturday’s local government election in 20 of the 21 local government areas of Anambra State, with opposition parties failing to field candidates in the affected councils.
The only council where a contest is expected is Anambra East, where a candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) is challenging the incumbent local government chairman.
Speaking at a campaign rally for the election in Otuocha on Wednesday, Governor Chukwuma Soludo attributed the absence of opposition candidates to what he described as their assessment that challenging APGA would amount to a waste of resources.
