  • The Labour Party Nigeria has announced May 23, 2026, as the date for its presidential primary ahead of the 2027 general elections. The decision was taken during a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Abuja and monitored by the Independent National Electoral Commission. According to a statement by Ken Asogwa, media aide to the party’s interim national chairman, the timetable forms part of preparations for the upcoming elections. He disclosed that the party will conduct governorship, Senate, House of Representatives, and House of Assembly primaries on May 15. As part of compliance with electoral regulations, the party also fixed April 15 for the submission of its updated membership register to INEC. The NEC further approved key internal activities, including ward congresses scheduled for March 26, local government congresses on March 28, and state congresses on March 31. The party’s national convention is set to hold on April 11. The council also reviewed recent developments within the party, including an alleged invasion of its national secretariat by suspected hoodlums. Following recommendations from its disciplinary committee, some members were suspended over allegations of indiscipline, anti-party activities, and involvement in the disruption. In a move to strengthen internal operations, the party approved the expansion of its membership register through a combination of digital registration and manual processes, especially in rural areas. The initiative is aimed at improving transparency, boosting participation, and modernising party administration. The NEC also authorised the appointment of interim leaders to fill vacant positions across party structures pending the conduct of proper congresses. In addition, members were urged to resolve disputes through internal mechanisms to promote unity and stability within the party. The council reaffirmed its confidence in the leadership of Nenadi Usman as Interim National Chairman, following a court ruling that upheld her position. The party also commended INEC for promptly implementing the court’s decision. With the timetable now in place, the Labour Party has effectively set the stage for its internal political process ahead of the 2027 elections.
