From Stanley Uzoaru, Owerri
Governorship candidate of the Young Progresives Party (YPP) Dr. Kemdi Opara has formally filled a petition at the tribunal court to challenge Governor Hope Uzodimma of the All Progressives Congress’s (APC) victory in the November governorship election in the State.
A statement by the YPP’s Special media assistant,Michael Anyanwu noted that he took the step after listening to the popular demand of his supporters to reclaim his purported stolen mandate.
According to the statement “High Chief Dr. Kemdi Chino Opara and the Party have taken the legal step of filing a petition at the Imo Governorship Election Tribunal in their commitment to lawfully challenge the outcome of the Guber election in the State towards ensuring that the stolen mandate is recovered.
“There is no gainsaying that what was experienced on the 11th of November 2023 in Imo State was an ignominious subversion of the will of Imo people who were denied the opportunity to freely give their mandate to Dr. Opara and the YPP.
“The obvious larceny is injurious to our democracy and should not be allowed to stand for whatever reasons.
“We urge all our supporters to stay steadfast and optimistic as we remain confident that the Judiciary will dispense justice fairly and uphold the rule of law as an essential pillar of democracy”.
