NigeriaDecides 2023: LP Rejects Presidential, NASS Election Results

The Labour Party has rejected the 2023 Presidential and National Assembly elections over the failure of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to transmit the results electronically through Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).

Director-General of Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Mr Akin Osuntokun, stated this at a press conference on Monday in Abuja.

He noted that INEC failed to implement some sections of the Electoral Act contrary to the publicly advertised guidelines for the conduct of the elections.

Osuntokun lamented that the party has lost confidence in the results being collated and announced at the National Collation Centre, Abuja.

“Nigerians have inundated us with calls and protests over INEC’s non-compliance with provisions of the electoral guidelines and the obvious manipulations of the election results.

”We hereby call on INEC to suspend further announcement of the results, and follow its own guidelines or completely cancel the entire election and make plans for another election with strict compliance with the stipulated laws and guidelines," he said.

Osuntokun pleaded with the international community to walk their talk in Nigeria, and cease to condone the multiple evils perpetrated in Nigeria by the ruling class.

“There cannot be one standard for Nigeria, and another for the rest of the world," he added.

He thanked Nigerians for their support to LP and assured that their mandate would not be stolen by another.
