The All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a formal clarification confirming that the scheduled dates for its primary elections ahead of the 2027 General Elections remain unchanged.
In a press statement released on Thursday, 14th May 2026, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, CON, addressed the proliferation of “false and misleading reports” circulating on social media and various communication platforms. The APC leadership maintained that the original timeline remains in effect to ensure a structured and transparent internal democratic process.
To dispel any further ambiguity, the party reiterated the following schedule for the selection of its candidates: House of Representatives: Saturday, 16th May 2026; Senate: Monday, 18th May 2026; State House of Assembly: Wednesday, 20th May 2026; Governorship: Thursday, 21st May 2026; Presidential: Saturday, 23rd May 2026.
The statement serves as a preemptive measure to safeguard the integrity of the party’s electoral calendar. By reaffirming the dates, the APC aims to provide certainty to aspirants, party members, and the general public as the political season intensifies.
The party urged its supporters and stakeholders to rely solely on official channels for information regarding its activities and to disregard unverified claims designed to cause confusion within the political space. With the first set of primaries for the House of Representatives set to commence this Friday, the party appears poised to move forward with its established transition plan.
