Labour Party threatens to pull out from LG polls in Anambra East

The Labour Party, LP, in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State has threatened to boycott the September 28 Local Government elections in the area.

The Local Government Chairman and the Secretary of the party, Mr Chidi Chinwuba and Mr Onyeka Aghadiuno, made the threat in a statement issued in Awka and made available to newsmen on Friday.

The statement urged the public to disregard any list published by the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission, ANSIEC, that included any LP candidate in the LGA.

According to the statement, the list did not originate from the party.

It explained that LP neither conducted any primaries to nominate candidates nor submitted any names to ANSIEC.

The two party chieftains, therefore, charged the commission to delist any flag bearer purportedly on LP’s platform for the polls in the area.

They further threatened legal action against the commission should it go ahead to publish any LP candidates’ names in the area for the exercise.

LP Anambra East Chapter wishes to disassociate itself from the September 28 LG elections in the state.

The party, through its rightful leadership, has issued a statement that we, as a party, are not participating in the election.

The general public is hereby urged to disregard the list published by ANSIEC as the names attached to the LP in Anambra East did not originate from the party, the party stated.
