authentic candidate of the party, and winner of House of Representatives seat election for Ahiazu Mbaise/ Ezinihitte Federal Constituency election of Imo State.
In their ruling, the Appeal Court Justices led by Justice Georgewill agreed with the findings of the Election Petitions Tribunal and struck out the appeals by Hon. Nnanna Igbokwe of the All Progressive Congress , and Labour Party candidate, Darlington Amaechi, as lacking in merit and law as the issues canvassed were not proved.
This judgement delivered by Court 2 of the Appeal Panel sitting in Lagos have again resolved once and for all the issue of venue of PDP primaries, a purely pre-election matter, which the Appeal Court lacks jurisdiction to entertain and which is the basis upon which the APC and Labour Party challenged the election of Hon. Chinedu Emeka.Recall that on September 7, 2023, the National and State Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal for Imo State, which sat in Nasarawa State, declared Hon. Hon.
Reacting to the verdict, the Center for Judicial Integrity Watch hailed the Appeal Court judgement affirming Chinedu Emeka’s election as victory for democracy as the issue of venue of PDP primaries and sponsorship are clear issues the Appeal Court and even Supreme Court have declared that the Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to entertain.
The Center, however, expressed the shocking decision of the same Appeal Panel to refuse to uphold the other election of another lawmaker, Hon. Jonas Okeke, whose primary election held at the same venue with Chinedu Emeka and advised that the Court should avoid creating the impression of ‘pick and chose’ on clear issues of law with abundant judicial precedent and constitutional provision.
