The Imo State Election Petitions Appeal Court 2, sitting in Lagos, has affirmed Emeka Martins Chinedu of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as the legitimate candidate of the party and the duly elected representative for the Ahiazu/Mbaise/Ezinihitte Federal Constituency.

In a unanimous decision, the Appeal Court Justices, led by Justice Biobele Georgewill, endorsed the findings of the trial court and dismissed the appeals brought by Nnanna Igbokwe of the All Progressives Congress and the Labour Party candidate, Darlington Amaechi on the basis that their appeals were devoid of merit and failed to substantiate the issues raised.

The Supreme Court had earlier upheld the validity of Emeka's primary election and no other judgments could influence his legitimacy, especially now that the issues are considered pre-election matters beyond the Tribunal's jurisdiction. The matter of the PDP Primaries' venue had been exhaustively examined by the High Court, Appeal Court, and Supreme Court, all of which consistently upheld Emeka Chinedu's emergence as the party's legitimate candidate.
