INEC Excludes Labour Party Candidates in FCT Elections Over Court Dispute
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced the exclusion of Labour Party (LP) candidates from the upcoming FCT area council elections due to unresolved court cases related to the party's leadership crisis led by Julius Abur. LP members protested at the INEC headquarters demanding access codes to upload their candidates.
INEC assured that it would respect the judicial process and await final court decisions. The dispute stems from a Supreme Court ruling in 2025 on the LP's leadership tenure.
Prof. Abdullahi Zuru and Prof. Joash Amupitan are key figures in the INEC's response to the LP's protests.
