Civil society organisations aligned with the Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party (LP) staged a peaceful protest on Wednesday at the National Headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), demanding the inclusion of the party’s candidates in the upcoming nationwide bye-elections.

Dozens of demonstrators gathered as early as 11:00 a.m., holding banners and placards bearing messages such as: “INEC, who is using you against LP,” “Mahmood stop destroying democracy in Nigeria,” and “Tell INEC to obey court orders.”
The protesters called on INEC to respect judicial directives and ensure the Labour Party’s candidates are not excluded from the electoral process.
However, in a statement signed by Ken Asogwa, Senior Special Adviser on Media to the party’s Interim National Chairman, Senator Nenadi Usman, it was stated that the Labour Party is not responsible for organizing the planned protest at the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), labeling the organisers as “impostors” and “political impersonators.”
