APC to Challenge Court Ruling on Uzodimma's Candidacy
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo State has announced its intention to contest a court ruling that invalidated Governor Hope Uzodimma's candidacy for the Imo West District senatorial seat ahead of the 2027 general elections. The Federal High Court ruling declared a former Imo State governor as the validly elected APC candidate for the district.
APC spokesperson Jones Onwuasoanya stated that the party continues to recognize Uzodimma as its candidate, citing his victory at the party's primaries as the basis for this stance. Onwuasoanya mentioned that the party's legal team would review the court's decision before determining the next steps.
He also encouraged party members to remain focused despite the judgment. This ruling represents a significant legal setback for Uzodimma, who has served as the governor of Imo State and is seeking to transition to the Senate in 2027.
