The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disclosed it would meet next week to take a decision on the latest letter written by the incumbent Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, challenging its powers to withhold his Certificate of Return.
Okorocha was the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress in the February 23 Imo West Senatorial election.
The commission withheld his certificate of return after the Presiding Officer had declared him winner of the election. INEC claimed the declaration was made under duress.
Okorocha, amongst other measures to reclaim his mandate, wrote the INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, insisting it was unlawful for the Commission to deny him a certificate of return as senator-elect.
