The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has continued to mount pressure on the Supreme Court over the judgment on the Imo governorship election which the party is demanding review of the removal of Emeka Ihedioha who won the March 2019 election while the apex court computed its own result to declare Hope Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress (APC), winner.

The PDP besides supporting Ihedioha to approach the Supreme Court for review, further petitioned the United States, United Kingdom, and the European Union, and followed with mass protest  to the foreign  governments.

PDP leaders during mass protest to the Embassies and High Commissions of the US, UK and EU on Friday appealed for their interventions to restore justice in the judgment of the Supreme Court on the Imo State governorship election.
