The All Progressives Congress (APC) has clarified that the dates scheduled for its forthcoming primary elections ahead of the 2027 General Elections remain unchanged.
In a press statement issued on Wednesday, the party said the clarification became necessary following the circulation of false and misleading reports on social media and other communication platforms suggesting otherwise.
The APC described the claims as baseless and urged members of the public to disregard any information indicating a shift in the party’s internal election timetable.
According to the statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka CON, the primary elections will hold as earlier announced on the following dates:
· House of Representatives – Friday, 15th 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 party did not provide further details on the nature of the false reports being circulated but reaffirmed its commitment to conducting transparent and orderly primaries in line with its constitutional provisions and the guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
APC officials have encouraged all eligible members and aspirants to prepare accordingly and rely only on official communication channels for updates regarding the party’s activities.
