Imo State’s Labour Party (LP) supporters have asked that the state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) be replaced.
At the entrance of the state office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the supporters, who are demonstrators, hoisted banners and posters while singing songs.
Before the state’s governorship elections on November 11, the party has the right, in the opinion of the nonviolent demonstrators, to demand a credible, free, and fair election.
