On 29th of February 2016, Justice Anwuri Chikere made an order that PDP should change its candidate.

On 14th of March 2017, the same judge made another order that APC cannot change its candidate.

Justice Anwuri Chikere ruled that:

1. The time for nomination/withdrawal or substitution of candidates for Court ordered election in Anambra Central Senatorial District had elapsed.

2. As decided by the Court of Appeal in the case of LABOUR PARTY VS. INEC (2008), there is no room for fresh candidates in Court ordered election.

BY THIS LATEST ORDER, JUSTICE A. CHIKERE HAVE OVERRULED HERSELF.

INEC should not be misguided by some disgruntled politicians who wished that Anambra Central will not have a senator until 2019.

INEC should not succumb to the latest antics employed by a Failed Minister to stop conduct the rerun election.

INEC have every authority under the law to conduct Anambra Central senatorial rerun election without PDP.
