Just In : Labour Party Reacts To Edo Local Government Election Results, Makes Demand
The Labour Party, led by Comrade Julious Abure, has rejected the results of the Edo State Local Government Election conducted on Saturday by the State Independent Electoral Commission (EDSIEC).
The party condemned the election and described it as an attempt by the state government to undermine the democratic process.
The National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, quoted Abure as saying that democracy can only thrive when the people’s votes are respected and counted.
The party alleged irregularities such as late arrival of electoral officers and insufficient ballot papers at polling units.
It called for a fresh and credible election and suggested that State Independent Electoral Commissions be abolished in favor of the Independent National Electoral Commission
