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.
