Justice Charles Okay of Awka High Court, in his judgment on Monday declared Soludo as the authentic candidate of APGA. He has been previously delisted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Recall that The New Diplomat had reported that the INEC failed to recognise former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN), as the flagbearer of APGA in its list of candidates for the Anambra governorship elec­tion scheduled to hold on November 6.
