The EC8D reproduction
The state values reproduce the collation result for the four named parties. Grade B reflects a corroborated table without a direct scanned EC8D form in the current register.
Final state result · South East · Two-layer record
Anambra 2023 presidential election result
The reproduced Anambra EC8D collation records LP first with 584,621 votes and PDP second with 9,036. The declared margin was 575,585 votes. Mundx presents that state declaration beside, but never merged with, a four-party polling-unit research layer.
Result of record: the reproduced state collation. Research evidence: selected PU observations for APC, LP, PDP and NNPP under a documented policy.
Anambra reconciliation
Declared totals beside selected PU observations
The declared four-party collation totals 600,735. The canonical PU layer totals 470,570, which is 78.3% of the declared figure and 130,165 below it.
| Party / scope | Declared collation | PU rollup | Declared minus PU | PU as % declared |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| APC | 5,111 | 13,371 | -8,260 | 261.6% |
| LP | 584,621 | 436,364 | +148,257 | 74.6% |
| PDP | 9,036 | 9,429 | -393 | 104.3% |
| NNPP | 1,967 | 11,406 | -9,439 | 579.9% |
| Four-party total | 600,735 | 470,570 | +130,165 | 78.3% |
The difference is descriptive, not causal. “Declared minus canonical PU” equals +130,165 for the four tracked parties. It must not be relabelled as missing votes, invalid votes or fraud: the two layers were created at different stages, and the available record does not establish a single cause.

Polling-unit rollups across 21 Anambra LGAs
These rows are calculated from selected polling-unit records, not declared LGA collation totals. LP leads 21 of the 21 local rollups. Each LGA name opens its permanent place page with ward and polling-unit context.

Largest local rollups
Five LGAs in Anambra context
The notes restate the largest local aggregations in prose so their leader, margin and evidence coverage remain legible outside the table. A PU-layer lead is not an official LGA declaration.
- Awka South: LP leads the selected four-party rollup with 50,396 votes, 49,406 ahead of PDP. The local total is 52,089 across 390 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Onitsha-North: LP leads the selected four-party rollup with 42,302 votes, 41,827 ahead of PDP. The local total is 43,135 across 313 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Onitsha -South: LP leads the selected four-party rollup with 32,697 votes, 31,505 ahead of APC. The local total is 35,384 across 321 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Aguata: LP leads the selected four-party rollup with 33,744 votes, 32,844 ahead of PDP. The local total is 35,204 across 342 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
- Nnewi North: LP leads the selected four-party rollup with 30,391 votes, 29,237 ahead of APC. The local total is 31,896 across 318 represented units. The selected source layer represents every polling unit in the inventory.
Reading the Anambra record
One contest, two evidence layers
The canonical PU layer
All 5,720 polling units in the inventory have a selected four-party observation. Representation does not authenticate each observation, restore the other fourteen parties or reproduce later collation decisions.
The LGA evidence directory
Awka South has the largest local rollup at 52,089. In Nnewi South, LP leads NNPP by 11,203 in the closest proportional margin.
Coverage needs a denominator. The least complete local record is Aguata at 100.0% of its inventory. Cite represented and inventory counts when an LGA has unresolved records. Full representation still does not make the rollup an official declaration.
Questions this page answers
Anambra result notes
Who led Anambra in the declared result?
LP led with 584,621 votes. PDP followed on 9,036, a margin of 575,585. The four tracked parties total 600,735; that subtotal is not the complete eighteen-party vote.
What does the local pattern show?
LP leads 21 of the 21 LGA rollups. State-wide, LP leads the PU layer with 436,364 of 470,570 four-party votes, 422,993 ahead of APC. This does not revise the declared leader.
Why can the declared and PU totals differ?
EC8D is a state collation product. Mundx selects complete four-party PU observations, prioritising CCIJ records and then Mark Essien fallbacks. Scope, availability, transcription and later collation steps can differ. The comparison identifies questions; it does not prove a cause.
How should this page be cited?
Use this permanent URL for the Anambra declaration and comparison. Name the layer, year and review date. Cite an LGA place record for a local PU claim, and do not call its PU leader a declared winner without a traceable local collation source.
Provenance
What is official, and what Mundx calculated
The declared layer comes from INEC's result collection and a contemporaneous reproduction of the collation table. It is a collation product, not a sum recreated by Mundx.
Mundx's second layer is a four-party aggregation of selected polling-unit observations. It applies policy all-complete-ccij-first-v1: complete CCIJ records take precedence, then complete Mark Essien records fill remaining units.
- INEC 2023 presidential IReV record.
- State/FCT collation reproduction.
- 176,409 represented units from an inventory of 176,846; 437 remain unresolved nationally.
