The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has been ordered by a Federal High Court in Abuja to issue Certificate of Return to Rochas Okorocha.
The court gave the order on Friday for Okorocha to be given a certificate of return as the duly elected Senator representing Orlu Imo West Senatorial district of Imo State.
In a suit filed FHC/ABJ/CS/296/2019, the immediate past governor asked the court to compel INEC to issue him his certificate of return which he believes he deserves afer an INEC Returning Officer announced him winner of the senatorial election.
INEC with-held his certificate of return with claims that the Returning Officer had announced Okorocha winner under duress.
With the ruling by the Federal High Court in Abuja, Okorocha will now be issued his certificate of return to represent Orlu Imo West Senatorial district of Imo State.
