The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has withdrawn its recognition of Julius Abure as the National Chairman of the Labour Party.Â
The election umpire cited the expiration of his tenure and the binding judgment of the Supreme Court delivered on April 4, 2025.
The new position of INEC, as contained in a sworn counter-affidavit filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja, is said to have finally settled the leadership crisis that has plagued the party for months.
In Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1523/2025, INEC clarified that Abure’s tenure ended in June 2024 in line with the ruling of the Supreme Court in Appeal No. SC/CV/56/2025, which dismissed his claims for lack of jurisdiction and nullified all earlier rulings that affirmed his leadership.
