Labour Party has approached the Federal High Court, Abuja, challenging alleged wrongful exclusion of its candidate from the Enugu North Senatorial District by-election scheduled for June 20.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ken Asogwa, made this known in a statement signed on Monday in Abuja.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Enugu North Senatorial District seat became vacant following the demise of the late Sen. Okey Ezea of the Labour Party on Nov. 18, 2025
Asogwa said that the party was deeply concerned that in spite of complying with all statutory requirements and procedural guidelines, it was denied access to upload the particulars of its candidate on INEC’s nomination portal.
