The Nenadi Usman-led Labour Party (LP) has fixed its national executive council (NEC) meeting for June 11 to ratify the results of recent primary elections conducted across the country.
In a statement on Thursday, Ken Asogwa, national publicity
secretary of the party, said the NEC is also expected to approve the list of
candidates who emerged from the exercise for submission to the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Asogwa said the move is in accordance with the provisions of
the Electoral Act and the party’s constitution.
“The party also wishes to inform all successful candidates
from the primaries that the presentation of Certificates of Return to
candidates for the offices of President, Governor, Senate, and House of
Representatives shall commence immediately after the ratification of the
primary election results by the NEC,” the statement reads.
Asogwa noted that the meeting, which would be the first NEC
session since the party’s convention, is of strategic importance to its overall
preparations and mobilisation efforts ahead of the 2027 elections.
The party held its primaries nationwide on May 30.
On Saturday, the LP faction announced Chibuzo Okereke, a
governance expert and policy strategist, as its presidential candidate for the
2027 elections.
