INEC Requests Investigation into Fake APC Result Naming Okorocha
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Imo State has petitioned the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force to investigate the circulation of a purported fake All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial primary result. This document incorrectly names former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha as the party's candidate for the Imo West Senatorial District, contradicting the official result submitted by the APC, which identifies Governor Hope Uzodimma as the winner.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Imo State, Chukwuemeka Ibeziako, communicated this position in letters dated October 5 and October 8, 2026. INEC described the disputed document as fraudulent and warned that its circulation could threaten public order in the state.
The commission attached both the authentic and disputed documents to its petitions, urging the security agencies to investigate their origins and take appropriate legal action if forgery is established.
