The Labour Party (LP) chairman, Calistus Ihejiagwa, accuses Governor Uzodimma of being declared winner by a compromised INEC with fictitious results. He claims security agencies and the electoral commission acted out the governor's script. Senator Achonu, the LP candidate, has served notice to seek redress in court. The African Democratic Congress (ADC) also rejects the Imo election results, claiming electoral violence, banditry, intimidation, and harassment. Despite these opposition, congratulatory messages have poured in for Uzodimma, with Lagos State Governor, Benue State Governor, and Senate President praising his resilience and commitment to democratic practices.
