INEC Explains Denial of Access Codes to Labour Party Ahead of Elections

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) clarified its decision to deny the Labour Party access codes for uploading candidates due to the party's leadership crisis and ongoing court cases. INEC cited multiple litigations regarding the party's leadership and internal structure.

The party had staged protests at INEC's headquarters in Abuja, demanding access credentials. INEC acknowledged an interim court order to upload the party's candidates, but the order lapsed.

The matter remains sub judice until legal disputes concerning the party's leadership and candidate selection are resolved.
