Labour Party calls for cancellation of elections, says its credibility in doubt

The Labour Party has called for the cancellation of the presidential and National Assembly elections, saying the results may have been compromised.

The party observed that  more than 12 hours after the conduct of the presidential and National Assembly elections, the results had not been uploaded into the server of the electoral body.

The National Chairman of the party, Julius Abure, in a statement added that Independent National Electoral Commission 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 amounted to 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 states as some of the states where results were allegedly manipulated.
