Emmanuel Nwachukwu, an accountant, is the flagbearer of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) for the Anambra south senatorial district by-election scheduled for August 16, 2025.

The by-election in the senatorial district is being held to fill the vacant seat created following the death of Ifeanyi Ubah, its former occupant who died on July 27, 2024, in London after a brief illness.

Nwachukwu, a banker, entrepreneur, and politician was unanimously endorsed by party stakeholders, reflecting strong confidence in his candidacy.

Nwachukwu, known for his extensive experience in both corporate and political sectors, pledged to run an inclusive, issue-focused campaign centred on empowerment, infrastructure development, and sustainable growth for Anambra south.

“The people of Anambra South deserve effective representation that prioritises their welfare and accelerates development. I am honoured to carry the APGA banner and will work tirelessly to justify this mandate,” he said in his acceptance speech.

He called on party members and constituents to support his bid as the by-election approaches.

The bye-elections will be held on August 16.
