A date has been fixed by the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday for judgment on a suit filed by the immediate-past governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha.
Okorocha is challenging the Independent National Electoral Commission’s refusal to issue him a certificate of return as the senator-elect for the Imo West Senatorial District.
The suit filed by the former governor asks the court to declare that INEC acted in error when it refused to recognise him as the winner of the senatorial election.
INEC refused to issue Okorocha the certificate of return even after the Returning Officer had declared him winner of the election.
INEC has asked the court to dismiss the suit.
