The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has taken legal action by filing a case with the Supreme Court, aiming for the removal of Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma. The Supreme Court has scheduled the hearing for October 31, 2023, three years after APGA initiated the application in July 2020.

APGA argues that a new election should have been conducted in the state following the Supreme Court's annulment of the election of Emeka Ihedioha, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate. In December 2020, the Supreme Court upheld the court of appeal's judgment nullifying Uche Nwosu's candidacy as the governorship flagbearer of the Action Alliance.

The court ruled that Nwosu was in violation of double nomination by holding tickets from both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and AA. Consequently, Nwosu withdrew his appeal challenging Ihedioha's victory.

However, on January 14, the Supreme Court voided Ihedioha's election and declared Hope Uzodinma, who ranked fourth in the election, as the duly elected governor of the state. APGA contends that Uzodinma's candidacy should have been nullified since the APC had given tickets to both the governor and Nwosu.

The party argues that the Supreme Court did not address the validity of Uzodinma's candidacy as it was not challenged by Ihedioha and the PDP in the appeal marked SC/1462/2019. APGA's counsel, Stephen Nwoga, emphasized the absence of a validly nominated candidate, making it necessary for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a fresh election in Imo State.

APGA, whose candidate secured the third position with 114,676 votes in the 2019 governorship election, is urging the apex court to order a new election, excluding the APC and Action Alliance (AA). Meanwhile, Uzodinma is actively seeking re-election as governor in the upcoming poll scheduled for November 11.
