Labour Party calls for immediate electoral reforms
The Labour Party (LP), has advocated for immediate and comprehensive electoral reforms in Nigeria if the country is to restore public confidence in democracy.
National Chairman of the party, Comrade Julius Abure, made the call when a delegation of elected members of the party in the House of Representatives paid him a courtesy visit at the party’s National Secretariat, in Abuja, on Monday.
He said that public confidence in Nigeria’s democracy was waning because of the huge disappointment witnessed during the 2023 elections when the people’s mandate was brazenly snatched.
He added that the conduct and outcome of the election did not reflect the will of the people.
“We need a holistic electoral reform. I will say that Labour Party with your support, we will begin with mobilisation, political education is important. Leadership is not only the problem, followership is also the problem.
