The anode is a negative electrode in the case of galvanic cells because when oxidation occurs, the electrons are left behind on the electrode itself.
On the cathode, the positive ions are reduced to metal and this why this electrode is known as the positive electrode in a galvanic cell.
In the case of an electrolytic cell, everything is opposite to that of a galvanic cell. Anode is positive and Cathode is negative in an electrolytic cell.
