Mr Vernimbe said that the party’s National Think Tank Committee decision and approval was pursuant to relevant sections of the party’s amended constitution.

“The National Think Tank Committee has approved the Action Alliance timetable of activities for the 2025 elective wards, local government areas, state congresses and national convention.

“Commencement of sales of intent forms for all positions at all levels begins November 13 to December 31; screening of all aspirants begins January 3 to January 12, while appeals begin January 13 to January 16.

“Ward congresses nationwide hold January 25, LGA congresses nationwide hold February 1, state congresses nationwide hold February 8, and national convention holds February 22,” he said.
