The trial court has ordered a new primary election to be held in 14 days as a result.
Justice Nyako issued the order in his decision on the case after Chief Chikwe Udensi's lawsuit challenging Professor Greg Ibe's apparent victory in the APGA gubernatorial primary election was filed.
Based on the evidence presented and the testimony of witnesses, the judge determined that the APGA gubernatorial primary election in Abia state on May 29 was "flawed and marred by irregularities."
Chief Udensi made the decision to go to court despite Professor Ibe winning the APGA primary election.
To be more specific, Udensi wanted the court to either rule that he won the APGA gubernatorial primary election or order a new election to be held.
