Labour Party legal team meets INEC chairman over inspection of election materials

The legal team of the Labour Party on Monday met with officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja over the inspection of electoral materials used for the February 25 presidential election.

The head of the legal team, Dr Livy Uzoukwu, led lawyers into the meeting which was held at the INEC headquarters in Maitama, Abuja.

The Legal Team was at INEC to discuss modalities for obtaining key documents that will assist the LP in prosecuting its case at the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC).

At the parley, INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu assured the LP Legal Team that the Commission will provide all the documents it requested to prosecute its case.

“INEC has nothing to hide. Documents available at the HQ will be given immediately. We are meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners today and we will discuss how other documents at the state level could also be made available to you speedily,” Yakubu said.
