Bye-Elections: Labour Party Releases Nomination Form Fees

The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Labour Party (LP) has released the activities and nomination fees schedule for the February 3, 2024 Bye-Elections.

According to Alhaji Umar Farouk Ibrahim, the National Secretary of the LP, the purchase of Nomination, Expression of Interest, and Delegate Forms are scheduled to take place from December 28, 2023, to January 4, 2024.

The deadline for the submission of completed forms has been set for January 4, 2024, while the Primary Elections are scheduled for January 7, 2024.

The party has outlined the fees for the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for various positions: Senate – N1.5m and N3.5m, respectively; House of Representatives – N1m and N2m; and House of Assembly – N1m and N500000.

Female aspirants and Persons Living with Disabilities (PWD) seeking Expression of Interest Forms will be exempt from payment.

Furthermore, the party has disassociated itself from a fake timetable circulated by expelled former members aimed at defrauding unsuspecting individuals.

It warned against the deceitful tactics and clarified that the provided forms can only be obtained from the National Headquarters in Abuja.

The party also addressed reported attacks on its leaders and aspirants in the Edo governorship polls by the expelled individuals, advising its aspirants to remain focused and ignore such disruptions.

In a statement signed by Obiora Ifoh, national publicity secretary, the party said:

“We assure our aspirants to disregard their nuisance value and focus on the project before them.

”We also warn these falling villains to seek for alternate platform to vend their trade as Nigerians are already aware of their shameful gimmick which has since expired.”
