A former lawmaker, Rufus Omeire, has rejected a claim about zoning. He believes incumbent lawmaker Ikenga Ugochinyere was chosen by voters. Omeire is supporting Ugochinyere for a second term in an Imo constituency.

Omeire claims Ugochinyere's initial emergence was not due to a rotational agreement, but rather the choice of voters. This stance is in opposition to a zoning claim.
