The National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), Julius Abure revealed that no newly elected members of the National Assembly on the platform of the party will defect to other political parties. Abure stated this on Tuesday after a meeting with National Assembly-Elect members of the party, with a focus on harmonizing the aspirations of the party ahead of the inauguration of the 10th National Assembly.
He said, “We must put on record here that all those who were elected on the platform of the party, either to the House of Reps or the Senate are well-responsible and dedicated to the party.
“They are men and women of integrity and high repute and I am sure they are aware of the basis on why they were elected. Even if there are infiltrations, our members have the capacity to resist such infiltrations.”
The LP chairman further stated that the party would deepen the country’s democracy, adding it won 8 Senatorial seats and 34 seats in the House of Representatives.
