The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) quit perceiving Ezeh, refering to a court request.
Brief News discovered that on a rundown labeled, "Last rundown of senatorial applicants", for the 2019 general decisions distributed on its site on Thursday morning, the appointive body supplanted Ezeh's name with that of Adaku Ogbu-Aguocha.
The change came around three weeks after INEC finished up the National Assembly races in which Ezeh was held as the APC applicant, as opposed to the February 19, 2019 judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Enugu that invalidated his candidature.
The court had pronounced that Ezeh was not appropriately named by the decision party, being an individual from restriction Peoples Democratic Party amid the essential race of the APC.
The court had additionally decided that the offended party, Ogbu-Aguocha, who came next in the APC senatorial essential race hung on October 2, 2018, was the legitimate hopeful since Uchenna Ezemba, who won the essential, had intentionally ventured down.
Ezemba had, not long after the essential decision, declared her withdrawal to make ready for Ezeh, who lost his offer to secure the PDP ticket.
Ezeh, after his thrashing in the PDP senatorial essential, abandoned to the APC where he was given the gathering's ticket.
Thus, Ogbu-Aguocha initiated a suit to move the choice of the gathering to field Ezeh whom she said never challenged in the APC essential and was not an individual from the gathering as of the time the essential decision was held.
She, among others, asked the court to pronounce her the properly chosen hopeful of the APC since Ezemba, who rose victor of the essential, had pulled back from the challenge.
The directing judge, Justice Ibrahim Buba, in the judgment, rejected the protest raised by the respondent's guidance that the case was rule banned, clarifying that the issue emerged from a demonstration of exemption, verging on an illegitimate assignment and not substitution.
Pronouncing that the application by the offended party had merit and in this manner succeeded, Justice Buba solicited APC to advance the name from the candidate to INEC as the perceived competitor.
Be that as it may, INEC still couldn't seem to conform to the court request as of the season of the senatorial decision.
As of now, Ezeh had documented an appeal before the National Assembly Election Petitions Tribunal sitting in Enugu which he is trying to invalidate the decision of Senator Chimaroke Nnamani of the PDP.
