The Young Progressives Party has set the presidential nomination form fee at ₦50m as part of its 2026 electoral roadmap, which also outlines dates for congresses, primaries, and the national convention.
YPP National Publicity Secretary, Egbeola Martins, disclosed this in a statement released in Abuja.
Martins stated that these decisions were made during the party’s 25th National Executive Committee meeting at the national secretariat in Abuja.
This meeting takes place as political parties nationwide begin preparations and internal alignments for the upcoming general elections, focusing on candidate selection and grassroots mobilisation.
He said, “The NEC approved nomination fees of ₦50m for presidential, ₦20m for governorship, ₦8m for Senate, ₦3m for House of Representatives, and ₦1.5m for state assembly aspirants.”
“While expression of interest forms remain free, YPP introduced a 50 per cent concession on nomination fees for aspirants below 40 years, women, and persons living with disabilities to encourage greater participation. The sale of forms begins immediately.”
Under the approved timetable, primaries for state Houses of Assembly are slated for May 24, followed by those for the House of Representatives and Senate on May 25.
Similarly, governorship primaries will hold on May 26, while the national convention and presidential primary are scheduled for May 30.
The NEC expressed serious concern about rising insecurity across the country, particularly the increase in kidnappings and violent attacks.
The YPP urges the President and Commander-in-Chief to take swift and decisive action to address the security crisis, demonstrating strong political will to protect citizens and security personnel nationwide.
“The NEC demands prompt, effective measures to halt further loss of lives, including those of courageous military personnel. Let urgent action be taken now,” Martins stated.
