Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, who represents Abia South, has left the African Democratic Congress and moved to the Labour Party Nigeria in 2026 as political activities ahead of the 2027 elections continue to build. The change became known through the Abia State publicity secretary of the Labour Party, who confirmed that the lawmaker has now aligned with the party.
The move comes only months after Abaribe joined the ADC in December 2025, following his exit from the All Progressives Grand Alliance, the platform on which he secured his seat during the 2023 general election. His time in the ADC was brief before making this latest switch.
Abaribe, who is currently serving his fifth term in the Senate, has built a career marked by several party changes over the years. His latest decision adds to a series of political shifts that have shaped his journey in national politics.
As of the time the development became public, the senator had not released any personal statement to explain his decision or address the reasons behind his move to the Labour Party.
