Labour Party’s governorship candidate in the upcoming November 8 Anambra election, Dr. George Muoghalu, has declared that he is unfazed by the influence of incumbency as the state prepares to elect a new leader.
Speaking in Abuja on Sunday, Muoghalu emphasised that political power ultimately lies in the hands of the electorate and God, rather than the ruling party or the incumbent government led by Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

“The election will be determined by the people and the will of God, not the party or incumbency factor,” he stated.
According to Muoghalu, history has repeatedly shown that those with incumbency power can be unseated when the people are resolute.
He stressed that the contest should focus on integrity, track records, and the capacity to deliver on promises.
“It is about us going to market ourselves to the people. It is about the people assessing our antecedents,” he said.
Muoghalu, who recently emerged as Labour Party’s flagbearer, said his quick rise in the party was a product of divine will and the trust of party delegates.
“I give all the glory to God Almighty because I have always said that power belongs to God and He gives it to whom He pleases at His own time,” he said.
He assured Anambra voters that he would not betray their trust if elected, urging them to “place your confidence in me; I will justify it.”
Muoghalu, a former Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority, promised to return to thank the people through impactful governance.
