Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, on Thursday, directed his supporters to vote for the candidates of the African Democratic Congress during the forthcoming August 16 by-elections in some states across the country.
Obi urged his supporters not to vote for the Labour Party because none of its candidates is reconised by the Independent National Electoral Commission due to the lingering internal crisis.
The former Anambra State governor announced this known in a post on his X handle on Thursday.
By-elections will be conducted 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.
Advising his supporters, Obi said, “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.”
