Meanwhile, the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) and his governorship candidate, Senator Ifeanyi Ararume; Action Alliance (AA) and his governorship candidate, Uche Nwosu and that of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and its governorship candidate, Sen. Hope Uzodinma, had filled separate appeal suits challenging the victory of governor Ihedioha on the grounds that he failed to pull the required number of votes.

The appellant prayed the court to declare the election invalid and ordered INEC to conduct fresh election in the state.
