INEC has currently uploaded over 99% of the results onto its Results Viewing Portal.
A preliminary analysis of election results so far obtained across the polling units indicated that Soludo was leading in his stronghold areas such as Aguata LGA in Anambra South Senatorial District and some parts of Anambra Central Senatorial District.
