Labour Party aspirant in the last primary election, Mr John Nwosu, has assured his supporters that he remained hopeful of eventually getting the ticket of the party.
Nwosu who spoke at a function in Okija, Ihiala LGA, over the weekend, when asked about the state of Labour Party in Anambra State and his candidacy after he had disputed two separate primary elections, said the Supreme Court ruling of 4th April, 2025, was definitive.
‘We know who the leaders of LP are. It’s now up to INEC to do the needful for the process to continue. The primary of 5th April is null and void and the primary of 10th April should be upheld, except of course that the issue of a place holder is extraneous to the established process.
‘I am a firm believer in due process and rule of law. So I remain in the race for the candidacy. In the fullness of time there will be clarity and vindication.
On whether he was in touch with the Supreme Court compliant faction of the party led by Sen. Nenadi Usman and her NWC, said, ‘Of course, I am, and my Appeal is before them. Once the Easter holidays are over, they will, indeed, make a pronouncement.
He expressed optimism about his chances of eventually picking the party’s ticket, explaining that the electoral processes were clear and full of established precedents.
When asked if he would resort to court to claim the ticket, described himself as a team player, expressing the hope that such a situation would not arrive. He however said if it came, he was ready to exhaust all remedies.
On Moghalu’s claim to the ticket, Nwosu said he never discussed personalities but only focused on issues, but stated that he intended to be on the LP ballot for the November 8th 2025, Anambra State Governorship Election.
