Bye-elections: Peter Obi urges supporters to vote for ADC not LP 

By

Mr Peter Obi, former presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, has urged his supporters to vote for the candidates of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, during the Saturday bye-elections across some states in the country.

Obi told his supporters not to vote for the Labour Party because it has no recognised candidates by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, due to the lingering internal crisis.

He made this known in a post on his X handle on Thursday.

He wrote, "On the 16th of August 2025, Nigerians will go to the polling units again for the Bye-Elections.

"This is expected to take place in the 16 States of the Federation with 2 Senatorial, 5 Federal House of Representatives and 9 State Assembly seats available for voting.

"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."
