An Imo State senatorial aspirant, Isaac Nwachukwu, has filed a lawsuit against the New Democratic Congress (NDC) regarding the party’s candidate selection for the 2027 general election. Nwachukwu is seeking legal recognition as the NDC candidate, alleging improper substitution of candidates. The aspirant claims the party did not follow due process in replacing him with another nominee. The lawsuit challenges the NDC’s decision and seeks a court order to validate Nwachukwu’s candidacy. Details of the specific allegations regarding the candidate substitution are expected to be presented in court. The case highlights internal party disputes ahead of the upcoming elections and could impact the senatorial race in Imo North. The NDC has not yet publicly commented on the legal challenge.
