The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State has contested a Federal High Court's decision recognizing former governor Rochas Okorocha as the party's candidate for the Imo West Senatorial District in the 2027 general elections. The party claims Governor Hope Uzodimma remains its rightful candidate, citing his overwhelming victory in the party's primary election.
The court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish Okorocha's name as the candidate, while instructing Uzodimma to cease presenting himself as such. The APC maintains that Uzodimma won the party's primary with substantial member support and will review the court's ruling before deciding on their next steps.
The party urges its members and supporters to stay committed to their political goals and secure victories in Imo State during the upcoming elections.
