Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee has on Monday announced the postponement of its National Convention indefinitely.
In a letter written to Independent National Electoral Commission, the ruling party informed the electoral umpire of its plan to conduct zonal congresses ahead of the national convention.
Earlier, there had been plans to forego the February 26 National Convention for zonal congresses.

The letter dated February 21, 2022, is titled ‘Notice for the conduct of Zonal Congresses’ and is addressed to the Electoral watchdog.
It reads;
