In a significant political development ahead of the much-anticipated Anambra South Senatorial by-election, renowned financial expert and prominent son of Igboukwu, Chief Onyemelukwe Eusebius Zonyelu, has emerged as the flagbearer of the Action Peoples Party (APP).
The primary election, which was initially expected to be a contest between two aspirants, took an unexpected turn when the second contender voluntarily stepped down, citing the overwhelming support and clear momentum behind Chief Zonyelu’s candidacy.
According to party insiders, the withdrawing aspirant acknowledged that “the handwriting is clearly on the wall,” and noted that Chief Zonyelu’s wide grassroots acceptance, leadership track record, and professional pedigree would lead to a landslide victory if the contest were to proceed.
With this development, Chief Onyemelukwe Eusebius Zonyelu will now represent the APP in the upcoming Anambra South Senatorial by-election scheduled for August 16, 2025. His emergence has already stirred excitement among party faithful, supporters, and constituents who view his candidacy as a fresh hope for effective representation.
Political observers believe that Chief Zonyelu’s financial expertise and longstanding service to the community position him as a formidable contender in the senatorial race.
The countdown to August 16 begins, as all eyes turn to Anambra South to witness what promises to be a defining moment in the region’s political landscape.
