The Labour Party has concluded its primaries ahead of the June 20, 2026 by-elections, producing former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, ex-diplomat Simon Eze, and four others as candidates for vacant legislative seats across the country.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ken Asogwa, said Maku emerged through a consensus arrangement as the party’s candidate for the Nasarawa North Senatorial District by-election during the primary held at the party’s zonal office.
Asogwa also announced that Eze emerged as the consensus candidate for the Enugu North Senatorial District by-election after what it described as a peaceful and rancour-free process.
Other candidates produced by the party include Sam Kinanee for Rivers South-East Senatorial District; Ige Asemudara (Ondo South); Abubakar Muhammad (Dawaki Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency in Kano State); and Muhammad Galadima (Zuru State Constituency in Kebbi State).
