The Independent National Electoral Commission has dismissed reports suggesting it has officially recognised certain individuals as leaders of the Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party
In a statement issued on Thursday via its X, the commission described the media reports as “false and misleading,” clarifying that no final decision has been taken regarding the leadership disputes within either party.
“Our attention has been drawn to some media reports claiming that the Commission has recognised certain persons as the National Chairman and National Secretary of the Labour Party.
“The reports also inferred that the Commission has restored a particular individual as the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, referring to the listings on the Commission’s official website.
“However, the reports are false and misleading. The Commission has not made any decision in respect of either the LP or PDP,” said Chief Press Secretary to the INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi.
INEC explained that the names of LP officials currently listed on its website were uploaded earlier in compliance with a court order, unrelated to the recent Supreme Court ruling concerning the party’s internal leadership crisis.
