As the 2027 general elections approach, the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) has announced that key strategic decisions will be taken at its upcoming National Executive Council (NEC) meeting scheduled for August 28, 2025.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Ladipo Johnson, the NNPP said it will deliberate on a range of issues, including potential alliances, internal party structures, and the political direction it will adopt heading into the next electoral cycle.
Among the topics on the agenda are the review of the ongoing constitutional amendment process, preparations for the party’s congresses and national convention, recent bye-election assessments, and plans for a large-scale membership drive.
Responding to widespread speculation about the NNPP’s political alignment ahead of 2027, Johnson emphasized that the party remains open to multiple pathways but will prioritize its founding principles and national interest in any decision it makes.
He stated, “As we have consistently said, politics is dynamic. While the NNPP is exploring all options, our decisions will remain anchored in the values and vision that define us.”
Johnson reaffirmed that the party is considering three possible courses of action:
- Forming a coalition or alliance with other political forces,
- Contesting the 2027 election independently under the NNPP banner,
- Endorsing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for re-election.
“These options will be extensively debated and decided upon during the NEC meeting. We urge our members and supporters to stay calm and trust the leadership to act in the best interest of the country and the party,” he added.
The NNPP also called on its members and supporters to take part in the ongoing continuous voter registration exercise and prepare for a nationwide mobilization and membership registration campaign in the coming weeks.
