The Newspaper, which monitored the APC House of Representatives Primary Election exercise held on Saturday, May 16, 2026, across the 27 Local Government Areas of Imo State, observed that the elections were conducted in several areas under the supervision of the party’s Electoral Committee members.
Following the conclusion of the exercise, The Pressman Newspaper gathered that some aspirants have reportedly emerged as candidates for the ten (10) Federal Constituency seats in Imo State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The names of the aspirants said to have emerged are as follows:
Hon.Mrs. Ngozi Pat-Ekeji — Aboh Mbaise/Ngor Okpala Federal Constituency
Ms. Sandra Inyama — Ideato North/Ideato South Federal Constituency
Rt. Hon. Canicemoore Nwachukwu (Omeogo) — Orlu/Orsu/Oru East Federal Constituency
Chief Jonas Okeke — Okigwe South Federal Constituency
Hon. Uche Emmanuel Agasu — Okigwe North Federal Constituency
Uzoma Emeodi— Ohaji/Egbema, Oguta, Oru West Federal Constituency
Chief Cosmos Maduba (Odoebube Isu) — Nkwerre/Isu/Nwangele/Njaba (NINN) Federal Constituency
Rt. Hon. Akarachi Amadi — Mbaitoli/Ikeduru (MbaIke) Federal Constituency
Rt. Hon. Tochukwu Okere — Owerri Federal Constituency
Hon. Chukwudi Anyanwuocha — Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Mbaise Federal Constituency.
However, it should be noted that the names listed above are yet to be officially confirmed, as at the press time, pending the formal announcement of the results by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress in Imo State.
Meanwhile, indications suggest that some aggrieved aspirants may approach the party’s appeal committee to challenge aspects of the exercise, a development that could still affect the final outcome in some constituencies.
