The Labour Party has submitted the list of Interim State Working Committee members for 32 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The submission, made on December 5, 2025, is in line with the party’s constitution and the resolutions reached at its Statutory NEC meeting held on July 18, 2025, in Abuja.
According to a statement signed by the Interim National Publicity Secretary, Ife Salako, the lists for Ondo, Ekiti, Niger, and Kwara States are still being finalised and will be forwarded to INEC once ongoing internal engagements are concluded. Party members in the affected states have been urged to remain patient as efforts continue to address local leadership issues.
In a further move to strengthen its organisational capacity ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Labour Party has also notified INEC of the constitution of a National Steering Committee for Membership Revalidation and New Registration. The committee will supervise the national rollout of the party’s new membership mobilisation campaign, tagged *“Labour Party Connect 10 Million Nigerians… Connecting 10 Million Patriots for a New Nigeria.”*
The committee is chaired by the Deputy Governor of Abia State, Engr Ikechukwu Emetu, with Comrade Ladi Iliya and Dr Kingsley Okundaye serving as deputy chairpersons, while Kamal Yusuf Ahmed is the secretary.
The nationwide membership revalidation and registration exercise is scheduled to run from December 17, 2025, to January 20, 2026. The party urged existing members to use the opportunity to confirm their membership status and called on Nigerians dissatisfied with the current APC administration to join the movement for what it described as a *“New Nigeria”.*
The Labour Party also encouraged the newly constituted Interim State Working Committees to work closely with the National Steering Committee to ensure a smooth exercise and help the party achieve its target of registering 10 million members within the set period.
The party expressed appreciation to Nigerians and the media for their support during what it described as recent “challenging times”, cautioning that those behind past internal crises—now resolved by the Supreme Court—remain “active”.
