The Labour Party has announced the rescheduling of its primaries earlier fixed for May 27 and May 29, 2026.
The party disclosed that all primaries for the offices of President, Governor, Senate, House of Representatives, and State Houses of Assembly will now hold simultaneously on Saturday, May 30, 2026.
In a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ken Eluma Asogwa, the LP said the adjustment became necessary due to the coincidence of the earlier dates with two important national events.
According to the statement, the May 27 date coincides with the 2026 Eid el-Kabir celebration, while May 29 marks the third anniversary of the inauguration of elected public office holders across the country.
“As a people-oriented and responsive political party, the Labour Party deemed it appropriate to adjust its schedule in order to enable members, aspirants, supporters, and Nigerians generally to fully observe these important occasions,” the statement read.
The party expressed regret over any inconvenience the change may cause aspirants, stakeholders, supporters, and members of the public, while appreciating their understanding and cooperation.
