The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disowned Wednesday’s Labour Party (LP) National Convention in Anambra State.
Rotimi Oyekanmi, the Chief Press Secretary to INEC chairman, said the commission did not monitor the convention but declined to state why.
On Tuesday, the LP shifted the convention from Umuahia in Abia State to Nnewi in Anambra State, following disruption threats by the Nigeria Labour Congress.
Julius Abure was re-elected as the party’s national chairman.
Section 82(1) of the Electoral Act, 2022 states that political parties shall give INEC at least 21 days' notice of convention, congress, conference, or meeting.
