Nigeria’s Labour Party (LP) announces Hajia Bintu Konto, described as a veteran nurse and public health specialist, as its vice presidential candidate for the 2027 general election. Multiple outlets report that the party presents Konto to run on the LP ticket with Dr. Chibuzo Okereke as the presidential candidate. The announcement is attributed to a party statement released by Ken Eluma Asogwa, LP’s National Publicity Secretary, which says the selection follows consultations across relevant stakeholders. The reporting is consistent across the sources in identifying Konto’s background in nursing and public health, her role as the party’s designated running mate, and the partnership with Okereke for the 2027 election. The outlets do not provide additional details in the excerpts about policy priorities, campaign platforms, or the timing of the party’s formal nomination process. The announcement marks the party’s attempt to confirm its presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 election cycle.
