The long-awaited Anambra governorship election is here. Residents will, on Saturday, troop out to decide who will govern them for the next four years.
Sixteen political parties are vying for the top seat in the state. Of this number, there are three frontline candidates.
Voters are eagerly waiting to see who will be the last man standing among Chukwuma Soludo, the incumbent governor and candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA); Nicholas Ukachukwu of the All Progressives Congress (APC); and George Moghalu of the Labour Party (LP).
Will Soludo be able to wield his incumbency advantage to retain Anambra’s most sought-after seat of power? Can Ukachukwu use the might of the ruling APC to sway the votes in his favour?

Or will the teeming support enjoyed by LP pave the way for Moghalu to take charge at Light House Awka?
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), once again, has the opportunity to prove itself to the electorate. Will the commission, now under new leadership, overcome the perennial logistics failure, late arrival of voting materials and officials, and technological letdowns?
The security agencies are not left out of the scrutiny as the searchlight will be beamed on them to ensure that the electoral processes are not subverted.
