Labour Party Awaits INEC Access Codes for 2027 Nominations
The Labour Party (LP) said it is still waiting to receive access codes from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to upload its list of candidates for the 2027 elections.
Although the party’s spokesperson, Ken Asogwa, was unavailable for comment, a senior LP official told Vanguard that the party knows other political parties have also not received the codes as of Saturday.
The source said INEC had released the necessary nomination forms, which the party issued to its candidates to fill and return.
“We were told the codes may be ready by Monday. As I speak to you, no political party has been issued the code you are talking about,” the source added. “Though INEC has released the necessary nomination forms, which our party issued to candidates to fill and return, we will upload the forms and other documents as soon as INEC makes the code available.”
However, the Because of Our Tomorrow party (BOOT) said INEC had informed it that its access code was ready.
The National Chairman of BOOT, Sunny Adenuga, told Vanguard, “INEC has informed us that the code is ready. We will collect it early next week.”
