Labour Party aims for 20m members ahead of 2027 elections

The Labour Party (LP), under the leadership of Julius Abure, has launched a nationwide membership expansion initiative targeting over 20 million members ahead of the 2027 general elections. This drive includes online membership registration and revalidation to strengthen the party’s presence across the country.

The party also unveiled its timetable for congresses, which will be held at ward and state levels and will coincide with the membership revalidation exercise.

These announcements were made in a communiqué issued on Monday by the Labour Party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh, following a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held virtually on Saturday.
