New Leadership and Resolutions
Delegates at the general assembly elected a new executive board to lead the Union nationale des vendeurs de pétrole (UNVP) following the conclusion of the event on 19 October 2026.

The election process was conducted to provide the Union nationale des vendeurs de pétrole (UNVP) with a refreshed leadership structure capable of managing the organization's regional responsibilities.
UNVP members handed over a collection of weapons and narcotics to judicial and military authorities during the final day of the proceedings. The surrendered inventory included sabres, machetes, and knives, alongside various substances identified as narcotics. These items were officially transferred to the custody of the relevant state services to ensure their proper disposal and to support the maintenance of public security.
Association members recovered these items during night patrols conducted by citizen observation brigades. These patrols operated specifically within the Abalan neighborhood of Agadez. The recovery of these materials was the result of the systematic efforts undertaken by the brigades to monitor activities in the designated area. Authorities took possession of the materials after the UNVP presented the findings to regional officials. The collaboration between the Union nationale des vendeurs de pétrole (UNVP) and the judicial and military authorities marked a significant conclusion to the assembly’s agenda, noting the role of the citizen observation brigades in securing the Abalan neighborhood. By handing over the seized weapons and narcotics, the association demonstrated its commitment to the resolutions adopted during the 17 to 19 October 2026 gathering.
