The Labour Party has alerted the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of illegal governorship primaries being conducted by some disgruntled members in Anambra State. In a statement, National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh, emphasized that the party has concluded its governorship primaries and submitted the name of its successful candidate to INEC. Ifoh explained that the party followed due process, issuing a 21-day mandatory notice to INEC and conducting ward congresses and primaries on April 1st and 5th, 2025, respectively. Chief Moghalu emerged as the party’s candidate, polling 573 delegate votes to defeat his opponent, Chuma Nwosu, who garnered 19 votes. “The party has also issued a certificate of return to the winner and the party candidate for the November 8, 2025 election,” Ifoh stated. The Labour Party warned against any attempts to disrupt the process, which has been monitored by top INEC officials. Ifoh cautioned that anyone attempting to destabilize the party would face severe disciplinary action. He also called on party members and lovers of democracy to support the party’s efforts to rescue Anambra State from bad governance. Ifoh highlighted the party’s commitment to transparency and adherence to INEC guidelines and the Electoral Act. He noted that INEC has mandated all political parties to complete their primaries by April 10, 2025, in compliance with Section 28(1) of the Electoral Act 2022. The Labour Party is confident in its candidate, citing his impressive track record in both private and public sectors. Ifoh reiterated the party’s commitment to democracy and good governance, urging supporters to rally behind their candidate.
