The chairman of the Labour Party has said that former presidential candidate Peter Obi will not be allowed to rejoin the party or contest the 2027 election under its platform.
Speaking on the matter, the party leadership made it clear that there are no plans to accommodate Obi in future electoral arrangements, effectively ruling out his candidacy on the party’s ticket.
The statement signals a significant shift within the Labour Party, which previously backed Obi during the 2023 presidential race. It also raises questions about the party’s direction ahead of the next election cycle.
