Youth Party Sets April 25, 2026 for National Convention and Launches Membership Reforms
The Youth Party has scheduled its National Convention for April 25, 2026. This move aims to strengthen internal democracy and lay the groundwork for the 2027 general elections. All members, new and existing, must revalidate their status using a valid National Identification Number (NIN). Ward, local government and state congresses will take place on April 4, April 11 and April 18, 2026, respectively, ahead of the final convention. A clear timetable and appeals process are in place for each stage of the exercise. Primaries will follow a One Member, One Vote model with electronic voting and INEC monitoring to ensure transparency. Nomination forms went on sale in March and close in late May, with a structured screening and appeal process to follow. Nomination fees vary by office, with a 50% discount for women, youths and persons with disabilities. The party invites interested Nigerians to complete registration and participate in building a more inclusive platform. Members are encouraged to contact the party for more details on registration and congress arrangements.
