The Social Democratic Party, SDP, Imo State chapter has declared its readiness to challenge in court the outcome of the just concluded local government elections that took place across the 27 local council areas and 305 wards.
The party also condemned in its entirety the procedure in which the election was conducted, accusing the Imo State Independent Electoral Commission, ISIEC, of undermining the guidelines of the process to favour the APC-led administration. This was captured in a petition sent to ISIEC by the State Chairman of the party, Ifeanyi Henry Eluwa and made available to the media in Owerri.
