The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has invalidated the results of the Labour Party’s National Convention held in Nnewi, Anambra State, on March 27, 2024.
The convention, which saw the reelection of Julius Abure as the party’s National Chairman, has been deemed invalid by the electoral body due to alleged violations of the Labour Party Constitution, Electoral Act 2022, and INEC Guidelines and Regulations for Political Parties 2022.
In a letter addressed to the Abure-led National Working Committee (NWC), INEC acknowledged the receipt of their application for a certified copy of the convention document. However, the commission stated that it did not monitor the convention and, as a result, cannot provide a report on the proceedings.
The letter, dated July 18 and signed by Acting Secretary Haliru Aminu, confirmed INEC’s position on the matter. The rejection of the convention outcome has raised questions about the legitimacy of the party’s leadership and its compliance with electoral guidelines.
The Labour Party has yet to issue an official response to INEC’s decision. Political analysts are closely monitoring the situation, as the invalidation of the convention could have significant implications for the party’s future activities and its ability to field candidates in upcoming elections.
