ex-parte marked: FHC\/ABJ\/CS\/1357\/2023, sued INEC as sole defendant.<\/p>\n<p>They had sought an order of interim injunction restraining INEC from \u201crecognising any other person or persons laying claim to the LP gubernatorial ticket in Imo governorship election slated for 11th November 2023 other than the plaintiff (Ukaegbu) who emerged from the primary conducted by the Alhaji Lamidi Apapa-led National Working Committee (NWC) of LP on April 16.<\/p>\n<p>They also sought an order of mandatory injunction directing or compelling INEC to recognise, upload and publish Ukaegbu\u2019s name as LP governorship candidate in Imo, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice filed contemporaneously with this ex-parte application.<\/p>\n<p>They equally sought an order of
