“The Committee will receive requests for endorsement from young aspirants 40 and below, who have purchased the party’s expression of Interest and nomination form for House of Assembly, Governorship, House of Reps and Senate; review the submissions and make a decision on which of the young aspirants to put the support of the National Youth Wing behind.”
