The Labour Party has reduced its nomination fees for the off-circle governorship elections in Bayelsa, Kogi and Imo states from N25million to N15million.
Its National Chairman, Mr Julius Abure, made this known on Tuesday while addressing newsmen after a meeting with its elected Senators and House of Representatives members in Abuja.
Abure said that the decision was reached after consulting with the party’s national leader and the presidential candidate of the party, Mr Peter Obi following complaints about the high costs of nomination fees by the party in terms of nomination forms for the governorship election in Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi states .
Abure also added that the nomination fee paid by its aspirants in Imo, late Mr Humphrey Anumudu would be refunded to his family to show leadership of compassion and empathy that the party stood for.
