INEC Assures Transparency in Anambra 2025 Governorship Election
The Independent National Electoral Commission has repeatedly given Nigerians assurance that the 2025 Anambra state governorship election will be conducted with utmost transparency, credibility, and fairness. As part of measures to guarantee an open electoral process, the commission has deployed its Election Result Viewing Portal, commonly known as the IReV Portal.
Real-Time Result Monitoring for Citizens
This innovative system allows citizens to track election results as they emerge from various polling units across Anambra state. The portal enables Nigerians to monitor the electoral process even before INEC completes the final collation of results in Abuja. While the IReV portal has been utilized in previous off-cycle governorship elections, this marks its inaugural deployment for a presidential election in Nigeria's democratic history.
The portal implementation represents a significant step toward electoral transparency, providing citizens with direct access to polling unit results without waiting for official announcements. This technological advancement helps prevent the spread of misinformation and allows for independent verification of election outcomes.

Clarification on False Victory Claims
Amidst the electoral process, social media platforms circulated unverified claims regarding the election outcome. Specifically, an X user identified as @Esteembehemoth incorrectly announced that Governor Charles Soludo had secured a second term in office. The post, shared on Saturday, November 8, 2025, described the victory as easily achieved.
However, these claims have been categorically dismissed as false. The Independent National Electoral Commission remains the only constitutionally authorized body to declare election winners in Nigeria. As of now, no official declaration has been made regarding the Anambra 2025 governorship election.
Governor Soludo, seeking re-election, faces competition from fifteen other governorship candidates in what promises to be a closely watched electoral contest. The INEC portal serves as a crucial tool for citizens to verify actual results against circulating rumors and maintain the integrity of the democratic process.
