Nigeria's Supreme Court has dismissed appeals by the Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party against the election of Hope Uzodinma as the governor of Imo State. The appeals by Labour Party governorship candidate Athan Achonu and PDP's Samuel Anyawu were rejected for lack of merit, upholding Uzodinma's election. The court also confirmed previous decisions by the Court of Appeal and the Imo State Governorship Election Petition, which both dismissed the candidates' petitions, citing insufficient evidence of overvoting and other irregularities during the election.
