PDP’s Disqualification In Line With Extant Laws – LP

The Labour Party has disassociated itself from the decision by the Inter Party Advisory Council, IPAC, Plateau State chapter to pressure political parties not to participate in the Saturday rerun election.

This is contained in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary
Labour Party, Obiora Ifoh in Abuja.

The statement says the
Labour Party will participate in the rerun election.

“We affirm that we are not under any obligation to accept any of such ridiculous decision by IPAC to stop political parties from participating in the election”.

“It has been established from the High Court up to the Supreme Court that the People’s Democratic Party, PDP was disqualified from participation in the rerun election as a result of some irregularities on their part. The decision is in line with the laws of the land” Mr. Ifoh states.

According to the statement the party appreciates the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC for holding on to the law established by all the courts including the Supreme court and by going ahead to conduct rerun in the affected constituencies.

It therefore calls on the people of the Plateau North Senatorial District to come out en-masse and vote for Gyang Zi for the Senate as well as Daniel Asama who is the LP candidate for Jos North/Bassa Federal Constituency.
