Okorocha vs Uzodimma: Court judgment raises jurisdiction question, says Ahiakwo

Constitutional lawyer and analyst Justice Osai Ahiakwo questioned the Federal High Court’s jurisdiction after it recognised Rochas Okorocha as the APC candidate for Imo West Senatorial District in the 2027 elections. The APC reportedly held its primary on May 18, 2026, while Okorocha filed suit on August 13, raising questions about the Constitution’s 14-day limit for pre-election cases. Ahiakwo said the court first had to establish whether the suit challenged the primary or a later decision recognising the party’s candidate, because a favourable ruling on the merits cannot cure a jurisdictional defect. He also said Section 183 does not automatically bar Governor Hope Uzodimma from a Senate nomination and urged caution until the certified judgment and court filings are examined.

US midterms: Four days to go, polls give Democrats the lead as Trump cancels two rallies

Four days before the US midterm elections, Democrats lead Republicans 51.4 percent to 43.2 percent in RealClearPolling’s national polls. A Marquette University poll in Wisconsin puts Donald Trump’s approval rating at 37 percent and disapproval at 61 percent; only 16 percent of respondents say they are better off financially than a year ago. Poll director Charles Franklin says Democrats’ greater enthusiasm and certainty that they will vote give them an edge amid economic concerns. Trump cancelled two weekend rallies in Iowa and Kansas in favour of campaigning by phone, while a legal dispute could delay the Senate result in Alaska.
