The recent local council elections in Lagos State have been described as a mockery of the electoral process by the Labour Party (LP). The LP claims that the ruling party All Progressives Congress (APC) used various tactics to manipulate the results in their favor including vote-buying and intimidation of voters. They also allege that there were irregularities in the conduct of the elections such as the late arrival of election materials and malfunctioning card readers. The LP has called for an investigation into these allegations and for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure a free and fair electoral process in the future.

Elections into offices at that level of governance are always marred by controversies. Elections always face significant hurdles, hindering free, fair, and transparent processes. These challenges impede the effectiveness of smooth administration, which are crucial for grassroots political participation and socialization at the local level.
