They were handed the certificates of return on Friday at the INEC office in Awka, Anambra State capital.
Prof. Soludo is expected to take over mantle of leadership in Anambra by March 2022 from the incumbent Governor, Chief Willie Obiano.
He won 19 out of the 21 local government areas in the state, including Ihiala LGA where supplementary election was held on November 9 following INEC’s inability to send its staff members there on the main election day and was pronounced winner by the INEC Returning Officer, Prof. Florence Obi.
