Ex-Anambra AAC governorship candidate emerges senatorial candidate
Former candidate of the African Action Congress in the November 8, 2025 governorship election in Anambra, Chioma Ifemeludike, has emerged the party’s senatorial candidate for the Anambra Central senatorial district.
Ms Ifemeludike emerged as a senatorial candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections. She clinched the ticket through a consensus arrangement during the party’s primary election held on Thursday and monitored by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission.
With her emergence, the AAC deputy national chairperson would contest against the incumbent senator representing Anambra Central, Victor Umeh, as well as whoever emerges as the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance for the senatorial race.
The primary election also produced Agozie Mmotoh as the party’s House of Representatives candidate for Awka North and South federal constituency.
Declaring the results, the returning officer, Obianuju Aniche, commended party members for their orderly and peaceful conduct throughout the exercise.
Speaking shortly after her emergence, Ifemeludike thanked party faithful for the confidence reposed in her, pledging not to disappoint them. She reiterated her commitment to quality representation and vowed to continue fighting for the people and amplifying their voices at the national level.
The Anambra Central senatorial district is one of the three senatorial zones in the state. It comprises seven council areas of Awka North, Awka South, Anaocha, Njikoka, Idemili North, Idemili South and Dunukofia.
