Owerri Court Disqualifies 27 APC Chairmanship, 305 Councillorship Candidates Over Conduct of Primary Election
…Bars APC From Participating in Saturday’s LGA Poll

By Ekeh Chiemena, Owerri

A Magistrate Court sitting in Owerri, the Imo State capital has disqualified the 27 Chairmanship and 305 Councillorship candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the September 21 Imo State Local Government Elections over the party’s failure to comply with the Guidelines of the Imo State Independent Electoral Commission (ISIEC) in the conduct of its primary election.

The Court also barred the party, APC and its candidates from participating in Saturday’s Local Government election in Imo state.

In a ruling in the case with No. CR/OMC/635/2024 and instituted by aggrieved APC members, Her Worship, Ifunanya Ekwerike maintained that the All Progressive Congress ought not to be in the Local Government election because it failed to conduct Chairmanship and Councillorship primaries in line with ISIEC guidelines.

Earlier, some aggrieved APC Aspirants under, Forum of APC Chairmanship and Councillorship Aspirants in Imo State had approached Chief Magistrate Court of Imo State, in the Owerri Magisterial District over non compliance to electoral provisions.

The court delivered this judgement following a report of discrepancies in the conduct of APC Chairmanship and Councillorship primaries in Imo state for the purposes of the September 21st proposed local government election across the 305 Wards in the state.

It could be recalled that the Forum, through its state spokesperson, Barr Lucky Ikwubuo (Onye Eze) vowed that its members would do everything possible to ensure that APC does not participate in the Saturdays LGA Election following its refusal to conduct a transparent, free, fair and credible primary election after the party allegedly extorted them of money valued over 3 million each.
