From October 26 to 28, the party will hold meetings of the State Working Committee, Expanded State Caucus, and State Executive Committee.

This will be followed by a dedication and thanksgiving service on November 8. The State Campaign Council will be inaugurated on November 9, and senatorial district campaign flag-offs are scheduled for November 17, 19, and 21.

According to the party, the campaign will provide voters with the opportunity to listen to candidates, ask questions, and compare their positions before making their choices at the polls. The party, led by High Chief Alabh George Turnah, has urged political actors and citizens to make the 2027 elections a period of constructive democratic engagement.
