An "Incumbent" is the person who currently holds the office. So when they run for reelection, they are the incumbent candidate.
I imagine that anti-incumbency would refer to those who wish to replace the incumbents. I guess you could also use the word "challenger" to describe this person.

An anti-incumbent vote is one exercised against elected officials currently in power. It allows the voters to register their discontent with sitting government officials

That means that voters are fed up with those already in office that they would be liable to not vote for them because they are "incumbents".
