INEC described reports of Abure's reinstatement on its website as "false and misleading." The commission emphasized that no official recognition had been granted to any individual in the ongoing leadership disputes within the Labour Party.

INEC's statement suggests that the commission is maintaining a neutral stance in the party's internal disputes. By refusing to recognize any individual as Chairman, INEC is awaiting clarity on the party's leadership before taking further action

INEC's clarification aims to set the record straight and provide transparency on its position regarding the Labour Party's leadership. The commission's stance underscores its commitment to neutrality in party politics and ensuring the integrity of the electoral process.
