Mr. Nicholas Ukachukwu, candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in last Saturday’s Anambra governorship election, says he will consult with his party and supporters before reacting to the outcome of the poll.

Ukachukwu made this known while reacting to the result of the election on Sunday in Awka.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the incumbent governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, was re-elected as he scored 422,664 votes against Ukachukwu’s 99,445 votes.

“We are still collecting information regarding Saturday’s governorship election from our supporters and party members across the state.

“We will also consult with the APC at every level, when we are done with all these, we will make our next move known to the public,” he said.

He denied vote buying by the APC during the election, as alleged by the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the state.

The APC governorship candidate also said that the result of the election indicated that the APC was on ground in the state, against the rumour making the rounds that the party had no place.

He commended journalists for contributing to peaceful conduct of the election by balancing their reportage before, during and after the poll. (NAN)
