It directed all relevant organs and committees to ensure seamless coordination for a successful, credible, and transparent exercise.

The NEC further affirmed the adopted zoning formula for national elective positions, in line with the party’s long-standing principles of equity, fairness, inclusiveness, and national balance.

It noted that the sale of nomination forms for the forthcoming convention had commenced and advised interested aspirants to comply with the party’s approved guidelines and timelines.

It reiterated the party’s supremacy and called on all members to remain united, disciplined, and committed to the party’s collective interests.

The NEC expressed profound satisfaction with the successful conduct of the ward, local government, state, and zonal congresses across the country and ratified their reports.

It commended the party leaders, electoral committees, stakeholders, and members for their commitment, discipline, and adherence to due process, which ensured peaceful, transparent, and credible exercises nationwide.

The party also reviewed the ongoing electronic registration of members and commended the progress made so far.

The NEC reaffirmed its commitment to a comprehensive, credible, and technology-driven membership database and urged all members across the federation to actively participate in the exercise.
