The Julius Abure-led faction of the Labour Party has unveiled Prince Kennedy Ahanotu, the party’s National Youth Leader, as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
Ahanotu emerged as the faction’s flag bearer during its presidential, governorship, and House of Representatives primaries held in Abuja on Saturday.
The party’s National Chairman, Julius Abure, was represented at the event by the Deputy National Chairman, Ayo Olorunfemi, who officially announced Ahanotu’s emergence.
In his acceptance speech, Ahanotu said he was honoured by the confidence reposed in him and pledged to work towards strengthening the party and advancing Nigeria’s development.
“With a full sense of responsibility and unwavering commitment to our nation, I proudly accept the nomination of our great party, the Labour Party, as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general election.
“With this consensus comes an even greater responsibility, and I pledge never to take that trust for granted,” he said.
He promised to collaborate with party leaders, candidates, and stakeholders across the country to rebuild the party and promote internal unity.
“I look forward to working closely with all the candidates, leaders, and stakeholders across the federation to strengthen our party structures, deepen internal democracy, reconcile differences where they exist, and reposition the party.
“I call on all leaders, stakeholders, and members of the Labour Party to embrace unity, reconciliation, and collective responsibility. Our strength lies not in our differences but in our shared commitment to building a stronger party and a better Nigeria.”
