Jude Ezenwafor Wins Anambra PDP Governorship Ticket Unopposed

Jude Ezenwafor has secured the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket for the upcoming Anambra governorship election, with no opposition. This win positions him as the party’s official candidate for the election scheduled for November 8, 2025.

The PDP governorship primary was held at the Professor Dora Akunyili Women Development Centre in Awka, Anambra State, on Tuesday. Chijioke Onwubuya, the chairman of the State Governorship Election Congress Committee, declared Ezenwafor as the party’s flagbearer after the primary concluded.

According to Onwubuya, Ezenwafor garnered 798 valid votes, with 26 invalid votes, out of 853 accredited delegates from a list of 999. He officially announced, “By the power vested in me and in accordance with PDP rules, I hereby declare Jude Ezenwafor as our candidate.”

The election process was conducted in line with the PDP constitution and electoral guidelines, ensuring a transparent and democratic procedure.

After securing the party’s nomination, Ezenwafor expressed his commitment to the PDP’s mission to restore leadership in Anambra. He called on the electorate to support the party in its bid to reclaim the state’s government house. Ezenwafor emphasized, “If you support me, this dream will come true. Despite claims that the PDP is no longer relevant, I intend to prove them wrong. All LGA and ward chairmen are now automatic coordinators in their regions. Our journey to Government House has begun.”

Chidi Chidebe, the state chairman of the PDP, reaffirmed that the party was entering the election stronger and more united than ever. He added that Anambra now regrets its previous decision to reject the PDP. Chidebe further noted that many former party members who had left due to disappointments elsewhere have returned, citing the PDP as Nigeria’s most inclusive platform that has contributed significantly to the nation’s governance structures.

The upcoming Anambra governorship election, scheduled for November 8, 2025, will determine the state’s leadership for the coming years.
