The National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Barrister Julius Abure, on Tuesday represented the party at a meeting organized by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja. The meeting, which involved leaders of registered political parties, focused on electoral reforms and preparations ahead of future elections in Nigeria.
Abure’s attendance at the INEC meeting comes amid renewed efforts by the electoral body to strengthen collaboration with political parties and ensure more transparent electoral processes. The Labour Party chairman joined other party leaders in discussing ways to improve internal democracy, party funding, and compliance with electoral guidelines.
Speaking briefly after the meeting, Abure expressed the Labour Party’s commitment to credible elections and urged INEC to address the challenges that marred past polls. He also emphasized the need for fairness, technological improvements, and timely logistics in future elections.
Observers noted that Abure’s presence at the meeting reaffirmed his leadership position within the Labour Party despite internal disagreements that had previously led to court battles over the party’s leadership. His participation was seen as a sign of unity and stability within the LP as it prepares for upcoming electoral activities.
The meeting ended with INEC reiterating its readiness to work closely with political parties to strengthen Nigeria’s democratic institutions and ensure that all parties adhere to election regulations.
