The JULIUS ABURE-led Labour Party has cancelled the automatic ticket it previously reserved for the party’s presidential candidate, PETER OBI and Abia State governor, ALEX OTTI, for the 2027 election.

This was made known in the resolution of the ABURE faction of the party after its National Executive Council meeting in Abuja.  

The party said that it has thrown open all its tickets, from the presidency to the House of Assemblies to all qualified Nigerians.

This is coming after some leaders of the Labour Party, including OBI, OTTI, Senators and House of Representatives members met in Umuahia, Abia State last week to appoint a 29-man care-taker committee to lead the party in the interim.

The Committee which is to be chaired by former Minister of Finance, NENADI USMAN, will midwife an election of new leadership in 90 days
