The Chairperson of the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission (LASIEC), Justice Mobolanle Okikiolu-Ighile, has affirmed that no political party is barred from participating in the upcoming local government elections scheduled for Saturday, July 12, 2025.
Justice Okikiolu-Ighile dismissed claims that the Labour Party was excluded from the polls due to internal crises that have split the party into factions.
She clarified that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officially recognises the faction of the Labour Party led by Dayo Ekong, and that group remains eligible to contest in the elections.
The LASIEC chairperson reiterated the commission’s commitment to conducting a free, fair, and inclusive electoral process across the state.
