Labour Party Postpones National Convention and Congresses

The Labour Party has officially postponed its national convention and associated congresses, which were initially set to commence on March 26, 2026. This decision was made to facilitate broader participation in the ongoing membership re-registration exercise.

The announcement was made through a statement issued in Abuja by a senior special adviser to the interim national chairman for media development. The original schedule included ward congresses on March 26, local government congresses on March 28, state congresses on March 31, and the national convention on April 11, 2026.

However, the party deemed it necessary to revise these plans following consultations with key stakeholders. The postponement was agreed upon during a joint stakeholder meeting that involved members of the interim national working committee and representatives from labour unions.
