Sir Paul Chukwuma, the candidate of the Young Progressive Party – YPP, in the November 8, 2025, Anambra State Governorship Election, has assured that he will remain in the Young Progressives Party, YPP.
Addressing the Sir Paul Chukwuma Political Family days after the gubernatorial election, Mr. Chukwuma said he had resolved to remain in the YPP after taking time to think through it.
‘I have entertained arguments and efforts to convince me otherwise, but after a careful assessment, I want to say that I will remain in the YPP,’ Chukwuma said, eliciting noticeable surprise by some members of his political family.
A founding member and leading financier of the APC in Anambra State, Sir Paul Chukwuma’s exit from the All Progressives Congress, APC, just before the party’s primaries in Anambra State, was no less shocking than his choice of the YPP in pursuit of his gubernatorial aspiration months before the governorship election.
Many had thought that Chukwuma would quickly return to the APC as soon as the election was over. However, his choice to remain in the YPP, as was communicated to his political family during a meeting, has now put that speculation to an end.
Chukwuma said he was comfortable with the YPP and believed that together with his team, he must remain steadfast in building a worthwhile political platform, rather than abandoning it.
During the meeting, Chukwuma also reiterated his stance that he was carefully observing the guber election outcome for appropriate action.
