The Labour Party has offered free nomination and expression of interest forms to Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, citing his performance in office and contributions to the party’s image.
“Please note that Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, would receive both his expression of interest and nomination forms free of charge, citing his performance in office and contributions to the party’s image,” LP National Publicity Secretary, Ken Asogwa, stated in a statement on Sunday.
The party also unveiled its timetable and schedule of activities for the 2026 primary elections ahead of the 2027 general polls.
The party pegged its presidential nomination and expression of interest forms at a combined N50m.
In the statement, the LP said the schedule was in line with the 1999 Constitution (as amended), the Electoral Act, 2026, and the timetable released by INEC.
According to the timetable, the sale of nomination forms will commence on May 6 and end on May 16, while submission of completed forms is slated for May 17 to May 18.
A breakdown of the fees shows that House of Assembly aspirants will pay N3m, House of Representatives N5m, Senate N10m, and governorship N25m.
“The party, however, approved concessions for women, youths aged 25 to 30, and persons living with disabilities, who are only required to pay for the expression of interest forms across all categories,” the statement said.
Primaries for House of Assembly and governorship positions are scheduled for May 27, while those for National Assembly and presidential aspirants will take place on May 29.
