2027: LP fixes N50m for presidential forms, sets dates for primaries

The Labour Party (LP) has fixed its presidential expression of interest and nomination forms for N50 million.

It also pegged those of the governorship at N25 million, senatorial N10 million, House of Representatives N5 million, and House of Assembly N3 million.

This is contained in a statement by the LP National Publicity Secretary, Ken Asogwa, on Sunday.

Mr Asogwa also released the party’s primary election timetable and schedule of activities with the House of Assembly and governorship primaries holding on 27 May and National Assembly and Presidential primaries fixed for 29 May.

He said the release of the timetable and schedule of activities for the conduct of the 2026 primary elections is “in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), the Electoral Act, 2026, and the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC’s) Revised Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the Conduct of 2027 Election.

Mr Asogwa also said the party’s only governor, Alex Otti of Abia State, will not pay for the forms because the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) will present them free of charge to him.

He stated that “female, People Living with Disabilities and youth (25-30 years) aspirants shall only be required to pay for the Expression of Interest Forms for all categories of positions.”

In accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), the Electoral Act, 2026, and the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC’s) Revised Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the Conduct of 2027 Elections, the Labour Party hereby releases its timetable and schedule of activities for the conduct of its 2026 primary elections.
