His opponent in the election, Hon. Ikenna Iyiegbu, popularly known as Ike Cubana of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) had filed a petition challenging his victory at the poll.

All grounds of the petition filed by Iyiegbu were dismissed for lack of merit.

Hon. Okonkwo, who hails from Ojoto a town in Idemil South Local Government Area in Anambra State, defeated the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) two-time incumbent, Obinna Chidoka from Obosi and the APGA’s Iyiegbu in the epic contest.
