Don’t vote for Labour Party – Peter Obi finally tells supporters party he belongs

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has encouraged his supporters to lend their support to the candidates of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in the upcoming by-elections scheduled to occur in various states across the country.

Obi emphasised that his supporters should refrain from voting for the Labour Party, as it currently lacks recognized candidates by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) due to ongoing internal disputes.

This announcement was made via a post on his X handle on Thursday.

According to reports from DAILY POST, the elections are set to take place on August 16, 2025, across 16 states, with two senatorial, five Federal House of Representatives, and nine State Assembly seats available for election.

However, Obi advised his supporters, saying, “Kindly note that because the Labour Party has no recognised candidates by INEC due to the internal crisis.

“I humbly urge every member of Obidient and COPDEM families to go out and vote for the coalition political party, African Democratic Congress (ADC), in their respective states.”
