The Senator Nenadi Usman-led Labour Party (LP) has released a timetable and schedule of activities to herald its preparations for the 2027 general elections.
Naijaonpoint reports that this was contained in a document dated November 17, 2025, which the party submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which in turn acknowledged receipt on November 21, 2025.
According to a document acknowledged by INEC on November 21, 2025, the party’s preparations will culminate in a National Convention on February 28, 2026.
The party has structured its activities to ensure a bottom-up approach to leadership and membership, beginning with a massive nationwide mobilization effort.

During the inauguration of the National Steering Committee for membership revalidation in Abuja on Wednesday, Senator Nenadi Usman, the Interim National Chairman, urged Nigerians to participate actively in the party’s activities.
She characterized the new registration drive as a critical step in the party’s mission to “rescue Nigeria’s democracy,” inviting citizens to join the LP ahead of the 2027 polls.
She said: “As we are all aware, our party, like many opposition political platforms in Nigeria, has, in recent times, passed through a period of intense challenges and distractions.
“I am pleased to state that the majority of these issues have been decisively resolved by the courts, while the few remaining matters are still before the judiciary. We remain confident that they too will soon be conclusively settled in the interest of justice and democracy.
“As we prepare to enter the election season next year, the Labour Party considers it both necessary and strategic to reposition, reorganise, and strengthen itself for the bigger responsibilities and opportunities that lie ahead.
“It is in furtherance of this objective that we are formally launching this membership revalidation and registration exercise today.”
According to the former Senator, since assuming office, expanding and consolidating the membership base of the party has remained one of her foremost priorities.
Usman, however, expressed regret that the aforementioned challenges delayed the timely commencement of this exercise.
“However, with the launch today and the newly approved timetable, I am confident that we will not only recover lost ground but emerge stronger, more united, and better prepared for the task ahead,” Usman added.
She urged all existing members of the party to take full advantage of the exercise to revalidate their membership, while inviting Nigerians of goodwill to “seize this opportunity to register and formally become members of the Labour Party.”
Senator Usman assured Nigerians that the party under her leadership remains steadfast in its commitment to serving as a credible, people-driven political alternative.
