Ex-AAC governorship candidate wins Anambra Central senatorial ticket

Chioma Ifemeludike, the African Action Congress (AAC) candidate in the 2025 Anambra governorship election, has emerged as the party’s senatorial candidate for Anambra Central ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Ifemeludike secured the ticket through a consensus arrangement during the AAC primary election held on Thursday under the supervision of officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Her emergence sets up a potential contest against incumbent senator Victor Umeh and the eventual candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the Anambra Central senatorial seat.

The primary election also produced Agozie Mmotoh as the AAC’s House of Representatives candidate for the Awka North and South federal constituency.

Announcing the outcome of the exercise, returning officer Obianuju Aniche commended party members for what she described as their peaceful and orderly conduct throughout the primary.

Speaking after her emergence, Ifemeludike thanked party supporters for the confidence reposed in her and pledged to provide quality representation if elected.
