The Labour Party (LP) disputes media reports claiming it failed to upload the names of its candidates on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) portal ahead of the deadline for the 2027 general elections. According to statements reported by multiple outlets, the party says it successfully uploaded the names of its officially nominated candidates for the presidential ticket and National Assembly elections before the nomination portal closed on July 14, 2026. Vanguard reports that the LP rejects contrary claims and says it met the INEC nomination deadline, with its position communicated through a statement issued in Abuja. Premium Times reports that the party’s spokesperson specifically states that it uploaded its presidential candidate on July 10, 2026, within the period before the portal closed. The Daily Post Nigeria also reports that the LP dismisses the alleged failure as inaccurate and maintains that all nominated candidates were uploaded prior to the end of the portal’s operation. Across the reports, the central point is that the LP insists its nomination submissions were made before INEC’s portal deadline, in response to public allegations that it missed the process.
