The Labour Party has fixed its Presidential primary for April 28, State congresses for April 25, Local Government Area and Ward congresses for April 24 and April 23, respectively.
This is contained in a letter to the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) signed by the Interim National Chairman of the
Labour Party, Sen. Nenadi Usman and released to newsmen on Friday in Abuja.
According to Usman,
the letter is to notify the commission of the approved schedule of
activities for the Labour Party 2026 Elective Ward, Local Government Area
(LGA), and State Congresses, as well as the National Convention.
She said the letter was in pursuant to the provisions of
Section 82(1) of the Electoral Act, 2022 (as amended);
The INEC Regulations and Guidelines for Political Parties,
and Section 223(1) and (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).
The interim national chairman said the section mandated
political parties to duly inform the commission of their congresses,
conventions, and meetings.
“The Commission may kindly recall that the Party, in an
earlier correspondence duly acknowledged, notified the Commission of the
postponement of its previously scheduled activities to enable broader
participation of members.
“Particularly, to allow for the completion of the ongoing
digital membership registration process.
“Accordingly, the party has now approved a new timetable for
the conduct of its Elective Congresses and National Convention.
Usman said the conduct of ward congresses will be held on
April 23, local government congresses on April 24 and state congresses on April
25, respectively.
“While the national convention has been scheduled for April
28 at the International Conference Centre, Umuahia, Abia.”
She urged the
Commission to draw the attention of its state offices to the notice to
enable effective and seamless monitoring of the congresses and convention in
line with its constitutional and statutory mandate.
Usman assured of the party’s continued commitment to the
democratic development of Nigeria. (NAN)
