Chioma Ifemeludike Declares Herself ‘Winner’ After Polling 292 Votes in Anambra Governorship Election

The African Action Congress (AAC) candidate in the November 8, 2025, Anambra State Governorship Election, Chioma Ifemeludike, has declared herself a “winner” despite polling just 292 votes, according to official results released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

While Professor Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) won the election in a landslide victory with 422,664 votes, and Nicholas Ukachukwu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) came second with 99,445 votes, Ifemeludike insists her campaign was a moral and symbolic triumph in a system dominated by big parties and money politics.

‘Integrity Stands Higher Than Political Deception’ — Ifemeludike

In a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday, the activist-turned-politician wrote: “Integrity stands firm and higher than political deception. I’m a winner!”

The AAC candidate, who garnered online attention during her campaign for her bold photos, viral videos, and fearless political commentary, expressed satisfaction with her performance, stressing that her participation was free of electoral malpractice or financial inducement.

She described her 292 votes as a “vote of conscience”, symbolising a quiet protest against corruption, manipulation, and political godfatherism in Nigeria’s electoral system.
