Labour Party extends registration, validation exercise to May

The national leadership of the Labour Party has extended the ongoing registration and revalidation exercise to May.
The party’s spokesman, Obiora Ifoh, announced this in a statement issued on Thursday.
The party’s national chairman, Julius Abure, after the meeting of the National Working Committee, stated that the party congresses across the wards, local governments and states would be held between June and July.
The validation exercise was initially scheduled to end on January 31, and the ward congresses were slated to be held between February and March.
The party had launched an online membership registration and validation application to exceed a membership size of 20 million before the 2027 general elections.
Mr Abure pledged to ensure a free, fair and credible exercise during the forthcoming governorship primaries in Anambra.
“I want to reassure our members in Anambra state that as it is usual with our party, our primaries and congresses will be free, fair and credible.
“It has been our ideology and philosophy in this party that we must do things differently because you can’t adopt a similar approach and expect a different result.
“If you must get a different result, it means your approach must be different. And therefore, for us in the Labour Party, it is our desire to do things differently,” said Mr Abure.
