The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said it is yet to decide on the disagreement in the Labour Party.

The party is currently facing crisis, with different factions laying claim to its leadership.

In a statement, the Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi, dismissed media reports claiming that the commission had recognised certain persons as the National Chairman and National Secretary of the Labour Party (LP).

The reports also inferred that the commission has restored a particular individual as the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), referring to the listings on the commission’s official website.

According to Oyekanmi, the reports are false and misleading, adding that "the commission has not made any decision in respect of either the LP or PDP."

He further stated, "The names of the National Officers of the LP had previously been uploaded to our website following a court order, not related in any way to the latest judgement of the Supreme Court. In the same manner, the name of the National Secretary of the PDP on the same website was neither deleted nor reinstated.

"As a law abiding institution, the Commission is carefully studying the judgement of the Supreme Court on the Labour Party and will communicate its decision to the public in due course."
