Asaba, March 6, 2021 The Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) says it would not feature in the March 6, Delta local government councils poll.
The state ZLP Chairman, Mr Emeka Nkwoala, disclosed this when he spoke with newsmen on Thursday Asaba.
“We are boycotting the election because of the imposition of fees, and perceived lack of trust on the Delta Independent Electoral Commission (DSIEC).
“Local government election in Nigeria has become a mockery of democracy.
“We are not participating in the election as long as its conduct remains in the hands of the state Independent Electoral Commission.
“We at Zenith Labour Party will not participate in the process. We are aware that over N1billion was allocated to DSIEC for the election and yet the commission taxed every candidate between N150,000 and N50, 000 depending on the position he is aspiring for,” he said.
