Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the personal details of candidates vying for the 2025 Anambra State governorship election, urging the public to examine the submitted documents.
Following the closure of party primaries, INEC confirmed that 16 political parties successfully uploaded their nomination forms by the stipulated deadline of 6 pm on Monday, 12th May 2025.

This includes copies of Form EC9, alongside academic credentials and other supporting documents, now available for public viewing at the INEC state headquarters and 21 local government offices across Anambra State.
