The Labour Party in Anambra State has raised the alarm over the alleged publication of names of members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, as its candidates for the forthcoming local government election.
The party, at a press conference it addressed on Saturday, said it neither sold forms for the local government election, nor did it conduct any primary election to nominate candidates. The state publicity secretary of the party, Engr Theo Egbe who addressed journalists at the state party secretariat, said the election which is scheduled for September 28,2024, is a mere sham. He said: 'They have conducted the elections in their rooms and are waiting to announce the results.
'The Labour Party, Anambra State Chapter views this conduct of ANSIEC and Anambra State Government as a criminal assault on due process and a rape of the Electoral Laws of the land, as well as unwarranted provocation of the law abiding members of Labour Party at large.' The party said the names published as its candidates are names of well known APGA stalwarts, some of who are presently transition committee chairmen of local governments.
