A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Tuesday reinstated Julius Abure as the substantive National Chairman of the Labour Party.
The court also declared the 2024 Labour Party National Convention held in Nnewi, Anambra State, which re-elected Abure, as valid.
It stated that the convention was in line with all laid down laws in Nigeria.
LP National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, announced this in a statement on Tuesday.
The statement said, Justice Emeka Nwite while delivering the judgement, compelled the Independent National Electoral Commission to grant due recognition and all privileges to the Labour Party’s National Working Committee as led by Abure.
Recall that INEC had announced that it did not recognise Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party.
The electoral umpire argued that the Abure-led LP leadership was invalid, stating that the March 2024 National Convention that re-elected Abure as chairman violated both the Nigerian Constitution and the Electoral Act.
