The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed November 18 this year for the Anambra Governorship Election.
In an official Twitter handle today, Thursday, INEC said: “Breaking: Anambra State Governorship Election is scheduled to hold on 18th November, 2017 as approved by the Commission.”
Although political parties have not nominated candidates yet, some politicians from the state have expressed interest in the race.
On Tuesday, Senator Andy Uba, who represents Anambra South, formally announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
There are indications that Uba would run for the governorship office on the platform of the ruling party.
Incumbent Governor Willie Obiano is also likely to seek a second term. [myad]
