During the official presentation of the new logo, flag, and slogan in Abuja on Friday, NNPP’s national chairman, Dr. Ajuji Ahmed, emphasized the significance of these changes. The new logo will appear on ballot papers in all upcoming elections in Nigeria starting this November, following approval from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

However, due to logistical issues, INEC will continue using the old logo for the upcoming off-season governorship election in Edo State on September 21, 2024, and the re-run election in Kano State.

“Starting with the November 16, 2024, off-season governorship election in Ondo State, this new logo will be featured on the ballot papers,” the party stated.

Dr. Ahmed highlighted the need for a logo change, citing challenges faced during the last general elections when the old logo’s multiple colors complicated ballot paper production. This led to confusion among voters regarding how the old logo appeared on ballots across the country.

“As a party looking to the future, we chose not to blame anyone or pursue legal action regarding the logo’s appearance on ballots. Instead, we focused on dialogue and wide consultations, leading us to this point,” he explained.

He also called on all State Independent Electoral Commissions (SIECs) to adopt this new logo for local government elections nationwide.
