No, choosing Anderson doesn't prevent this.

If you chose Anderson in Mass Effect 1, he steps down at the end of Mass Effect 2 because of all the bureaucracy and politics. Udina, who is experienced in those things, takes over as Earth's Councillor.

Is Udina with Cerberus?

Eventually, Udina's desperation leads him to a deal with Cerberus to instigate a bloodless coup of the Citadel, arrest the Council and force them to grant him the emergency power necessary to order all Citadel forces to Earth.

What happens to Anderson if you choose Udina?

The unfortunate thing is that no matter what the player chooses, by Mass Effect 3, Udina will have been given the role of Councilor and Anderson will have been removed from the board. While this choice is made up to be a big one at the end of Mass Effect 1, its widespread ramifications aren't particularly deep.

Who should I pick Anderson or Udina?

While this choice may seem deeper than it actually is, you'll still likely have a better time choosing Captain Anderson. The choice will feel much more supportive for Shepard's future endeavors as compared to the cold demeanor of Udina.

What happens if Udina as councilor?

Udina remains quite hostile to Shepard in future games. If you allowed the original Citadel Council to die and appoint Udina as the new councilor, your Spectre status will not be reinstated in ME2. This changes minor dialogue around Shepard's rank and powers.
