The Labour Party’s (LP) legal team met with officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja on Monday to discuss the inspection of electoral materials used in the February 25, 2023 presidential election.
Dr Livy Uzoukwu, the legal team’s leader, led lawyers into the meeting, which was held at the INEC headquarters in Maitama, Abuja.
The Legal Team was at INEC to discuss ways to obtain key documents that will help the LP prosecute its case at the Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC).
During the meeting, INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu assured the LP Legal Team that the Commission would provide all of the documents requested by the team in order to prosecute its case.
“INEC has nothing to hide,” Yakubu said during a meeting with the Labour Party’s legal team on Monday at INEC headquarters in Abuja.
“Documents that are available at the headquarters will be distributed 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.”
