Anambra state, with its allocation of 3 Senate seats and 11 House of Representatives seats in the national assembly, recently witnessed a significant political shift during the 2023 general elections. All three serving senators and the 11 House of Representatives members who contested the elections faced defeat, except for Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.
This outcome serves as a lesson to leaders, signaling a transformation in the political landscape. It underscores the necessity for politicians to foster genuine connections and earn the love of their constituents in order to secure electoral success in Anambra state.
Looking forward to the upcoming 2025 Anambra state governorship race, Professor Soludo’s return hangs in the balance, despite his noteworthy efforts in advancing road infrastructure. The prevailing sentiment among the people is not favorable towards him, largely influenced by the role he played in the 2023 presidential election.
As the November 2025 elections approach, the question of whether Professor Soludo can mend the damage and regain the people’s trust remains uncertain.
