ABUJA — The Labour Party has filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Abuja challenging the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over its exclusion from the forthcoming Enugu North Senatorial District by-election scheduled for June 20, 2026.
The seat became vacant following the death of Senator Okey Ezea on November 18, 2025.
The party said it had informed INEC on May 11, 2026 of its plan to conduct a primary in line with electoral guidelines, which held on May 25, 2026 and produced Ambassador Simon Ejike Eze as its candidate.
