\nBriefing Journalists in Owerri on Monday, the Labour Party Chairman, Dr. Ambrose Onyekwere disclosed of the party\u2019s readiness for elections, but later had a rethink over the activities of the electoral officers in Imo State.
\nOnyekwere warned that Labour Party will reject any results that would be announced from the outcome of the March 11 State Assembly Poll.
\nHe hinted that the decision came to fore following the high rate of irregularities that were witnessed and recorded in the February 25th, 2023 Presidential and National Assembly elections in Imo State.
\nTo this end, he called for the instant removal of the Imo State Resident Electoral Commission, Prof Sylvia Agu, all the EOs, and all the SPOs.
\nOnyekwere accused the REC of compromising against the wish and votes of the electorate.
\nHe maintained that if she is not removed as Imo REC, Labour Party will vehemently not accept any result that would be announced for Assembly seat.
\nAccording to the LP State boss, the REC and other officials are working with APC in the State to deliver all the APC candidates, whether or not they won.
