INEC excludes Labour Party candidates from FCT polls

Kiswahili

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has excluded Labour Party candidates from the forthcoming local government elections in Nigeria's Federal Capital Territory (FCT). This decision bars the party's participation in the polls.

Reports from Daily Trust and ThisDay indicate that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has explained its decision not to recognize candidates of the Abure-led Labour Party (LP) for the local government council polls in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). This exclusion prevents the party's nominees from participating in the upcoming elections. The development specifically targets LP candidates under Abure's leadership, as confirmed by the reports. No detailed reasons for the non-recognition were provided in the available information, but the decision was announced around January 7, 2026. The polls concern local government elections in the FCT.
