A former Senator that represented Anambra North District, Chief Emmanuel Anosike, has been elected Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Anambra State.

Anosike emerged through a consensus, with Chief J.C. Okeke as Vice Chairman and Chief Obi Okpala as Secretary.

The Chairman of the Anambra Congress Committee and Returning Officer, Rear Admiral William Kayode (rtd), supervised the exercise.

He stated that the election was conducted in line with Articles 14 and 20 of the APC Constitution, which provide for the use of consensus in electing party officers.

He described the congress as free, fair, and credible, noting that Sen. Anosike and other members of his Executive Committee were duly elected.

Senator Uche Ekwunife, who was Chairman of the Congress Harmonization Committee said the goal of the exercise was to elect competent party executives capable of driving the APC to victory, adding that stakeholders at ward and local government levels were involved in the selection process.

The former executive led by Chief Basil Ejidike, was earlier dissolved through a motion moved by Chief Olisa Metuh and seconded by Dr. Onuora Okonkwo, paving the way for the new leadership.

In his acceptance speech, Anosike described his election as a call to serve and promised inclusivity for all party members.

“We shall ensure all members are carried along. This is a new dawn for the party in the state. We also pledge to deliver President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections", he said .

Anosike acknowledged the support of Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State in managing the party in the South East.

The former Chairman of the party, Ejidike urged party members to support the new executive, assuring that the party would continue to grow from strength to strength.
