Akachukwu Nwakpo, candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the Anambra governorship election, has explained why he cast his vote in support of Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
After voting for APGA in the supplementary election on Tuesday, Nwakpo explained since his ADC did not get enough votes after collation on Sunday, he decided to support “the winning party”.
Nwakpo said: “We believe it is time to finish this election by helping the winning party to make it to the end, so that the military can leave and we can have a more relaxed environment for us to focus on issues that concern our communities,”
“Also, the leadership of my party, ADC, agreed with what we have done because we are not in the supplementary election and we did not score or get enough votes to be competitive.

“APGA is also a sister party because the founding members of APGA founded ADC and I also came from APGA to ADC. More so, professor Chukwuma Soludo is my friend.
“So, I feel this is an opportunity to support one another and for us to build together and let our people be part of governance.”
