Children voted in Anambra election – LP candidate Moghalu

George Moghalu

The Labour Party’s governorship candidate in the just-concluded Anambra election, Dr George Moghalu, has alleged that children were involved in the electoral process.

While rejecting the result, which saw the incumbent Governor Chukwuma Soludo declared the winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Moghalu described it as fraught with incidents of vote-buying and underage voting.

In a chat with journalists in his Nnewi office on Sunday, Moghalu said, “The November 8, 2025, governorship election in Anambra State, in my view, fell short of expectations. I hereby reject it in its entirety.

“I have contested in previous elections, but this one was different. The level of vote buying was alarming.

“Children who were not supposed to be carrying voter cards were openly seen with them and allowed to vote. These are issues that raise questions about the integrity of the process.”
