The long-awaited final judgment on the contentious Imo governorship election will be delivered today, Friday, August 23, 2024, at the Supreme Court in Abuja.
Contrary to earlier rumors that Governor Uzodimma had won the case, sources confirmed that the judgment will be delivered today, putting an end to speculations.
The case involves three parties: Labour Party candidate Senator Athan Achonu, PDP candidate Senator Samuel Anyanwu, and incumbent Governor Senator Hope Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Imo governorship election took place on November 11, 2023, with INEC declaring Uzodimma the winner. However, Anyanwu and Achonu rejected the result and challenged it in court, leading to the Supreme Court.
All parties involved are optimistic about emerging victorious, and the Imo electorate eagerly awaits the final verdict.
The Supreme Court’s judgment will bring an end to the litigations surrounding the Imo governorship election 2023.
The parties have been engaged in a legal battle since the election, with each side presenting their case before the court.
The final judgment will determine the legitimate winner of the election and put an end to the controversy surrounding the Imo governorship seat.
