Court Dismisses Labour Party's Lawsuit Against INEC Over FCT Poll Exclusion
The Federal High Court in Abuja dismissed the Labour Party's suit against INEC regarding the exclusion of LP candidates from the upcoming FCT area council elections. Justice Peter Lifu declined to compel INEC to accept LP's list of nominated candidates, citing that the LP's case fell under pre-election litigation and was not filed within the required period.
The lawsuit highlighted a leadership tussle within the party as a reason for INEC's decision not to recognize the LP's candidate list.
