ABUJA — The Labour Party (LP) has denied reports alleging that it failed to upload the names of its presidential and vice-presidential candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before the close of the nomination portal for the 2027 general elections.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ken Asogwa, said the candidates’ particulars were uploaded on July 10, 2026, four days before the July 14 deadline set by INEC.
According to Asogwa, the reports claiming the party missed the deadline were false.
“Our attention has been drawn to media reports alleging that the party failed to upload the names of its presidential and vice-presidential candidates before the expiration of the INEC deadline. This claim is false and misleading,” he said.
