Labour Party: Why we seek cancellation of Saturday’s presidential, NASS elections

The Labour Party says it is worried that more than 12 hours after the conduct of the presidential and National Assembly elections, the results have not been uploaded into the server of the electoral body.

Indeed, the LP called for the cancellation of the elections, alleging that the results must have been compromised as the Independent National Electoral Commission could not upload the results into its server from the polling units.

The National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure, made the call in a statement, noting that INEC had given room for doubt in the credibility of the process.

Abure said the inability of INEC to upload results after over 12 hours was worrisome and called it electoral robbery.

He said Labour Party was shocked by the revelations emanating from Rivers State after the elections which held on Saturday where thugs reportedly invaded various polling units and collation centres, took away election materials including the results sheets.

He stated, “We took particular note of incidences in places like Obio/Akpor, Khana, Eleme, Obigbo, Rumukoro and several other areas where Labour Party was clearly leading in virtually all the polling units with very wide margins.”

Abure also mentioned Lagos and Delta as some of the states where results were allegedly manipulated.
