The Labour Party has taken a significant step towards ensuring free and fair elections by setting up an Electoral Reform Committee.
The committee, chaired by former Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission CEO, Hon. Dr. Sam Amadi, has been tasked with conducting a comprehensive review of the electoral process.
The 17-member committee includes notable figures such as Senator Tony Nwoye, Mike Igini, and Hon. Benedict Etanabene, according to Politics Nigeria.
They have been given a three-month deadline to submit their report, aimed at identifying and addressing past mistakes.
The move is seen as a strategic preparation for the 2027 elections, demonstrating the party’s commitment to transparency and accountability.
The committee’s inauguration is scheduled for July 4, 2024, at 11 am at the Labour Party National Headquarters in Utako.
This development is expected to boost the party’s credibility and strengthen Nigeria’s democratic process.
