A good student of history will not find it hard to comprehend an established pattern of how elections are won and lost in Imo state, Southeast, Nigeria.
In his place, the court declared Okorocha, the authentic winner of the May 18, 2026 primary election of the party and consequently ordered INEC to replace Uzodimma’s name with Okorocha’s. In another clime, this would have passed for a normal story that would quickly be put behind us but not so for Imo where electoral contests are usually stretched to a breaking point. First, the party that the law empowers to determine who should be its candidate has already rejected Egwuatu’s ruling. APC says Uzodimma remains its candidate admonishing all concerned to depart from the uncivilized practice of ignoring the direction of the Supreme Court which says that the determination of a party flagbearer rests with the political party concerned.
