Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, has urged his supporters to back the candidates of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, during the forthcoming by-elections across some states in the country.
Obi told his supporters not to vote for the Labour Party because it has no recognised candidates by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, due to the lingering internal crisis.
He made this known in a post on his X handle on Thursday.
DAILY POST reports that the elections will take place on August 16, 2025 in 16 states across the country, with two senatorial, five Federal House of Representatives, and nine State Assembly seats available for voting.
However, Obi advised his supporters, saying, “Kindly note that because the Labour Party has no recognised candidates by INEC due to the internal crisis.
“I humbly urge every member of Obidient and COPDEM families to go out and vote for the coalition political party, African Democratic Congress (ADC), in their respective states.”
