PRP Conducts Ward, LG Congresses in Lagos Ahead of 2027 Election

The Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) held its Ward and Local Government Congresses in Lagos State on Wednesday, marking a significant step in the party’s reorganisation process ahead of the 2027 elections. Monitored by officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the congresses took place in Ikorodu and resulted in the emergence of new ward and local government executives.

Mr. Wolimoh Olajide, the PRP National Youth Leader and Chairman of the Congresses, said the exercise was conducted peacefully and transparently, reflecting the core values of the party. He commended the delegates for their conduct, noting that the process was democratic and consensus‑driven. The new executives, chosen through a consensus‑building process, are expected to play a crucial role in promoting the party’s ideals at the grassroots level.

Olajide urged the newly elected executives to work diligently to promote the PRP and its values to the people of Lagos State, expressing confidence that the party’s future is bright with the new leadership in place. He emphasized that the momentum generated from the congresses would strengthen the party’s efforts to challenge the ruling party in the 2027 elections, both at the state and federal levels. According to Olajide, Lagos residents and Nigerians are yearning for change, and the PRP is positioning itself as a credible alternative.

The party’s reorganisation process aims to strengthen its structures and prepare it for the upcoming elections. With the successful conduct of the Ward and Local Government Congresses, the PRP has taken a significant step toward achieving its goals. The outcome is expected to have a positive impact on the party’s fortunes in Lagos State, as the new executives will be responsible for implementing the party’s strategies and policies at the local level. While it remains to be seen how these reorganisation efforts will translate into electoral success, the PRP’s commitment to democratic principles and grassroots engagement is likely to resonate with voters seeking a credible alternative to the ruling party.
