LAGOS – Chioma Ifemeludike, the 2025 governorship candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC), in the last Anambra State governorship election, has emerged as the party’s senatorial candidate for the Anambra Central Senatorial District ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Ifemeludike, the AAC’s Deputy National chairperson for South East, clinched the ticket through a consensus arrangement during the party’s primary election held in Awka on Thursday.
According to a statement made available to Sunday Independent, the exercise was monitored by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), with the party’s officials, delegates, aspirants, members, observers and stakeholders in attendance.
Declaring the results, the Returning Officer, Obianuju Aniche, commended party members for their orderly and peaceful conduct throughout the exercise.
Speaking shortly after her emergence, Ifemeludike thanked party faithful for the confidence reposed in her, pledging not to disappoint them.
She restated her commitment to quality representation and vowed to continue fighting for the people and amplifying their voices at the national level.
She said: “I appreciate the party faithful for giving me their consensus acceptance. I promise not to compromise my stand or disappoint them.
“We will not give up on our pursuit of quality representation. The AAC may not boast of massive structures like the ‘bigger’ political parties, but it remains committed to principles and people-oriented governance.
“Yes, we may not be controlling crowds, but one person can effect change. I prefer staying with a few to get things right instead of joining a bigger party and compromising.
