The All Progressives Congress (APC) has unveiled a revised timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 general elections, updating timelines for screening, primaries, appeals, and other internal processes, while also announcing designated bank accounts for purchasing Expression of Interest and Nomination forms.
The announcement was made on Monday at the party’s National Secretariat, Buhari House in Abuja, in a notice signed by the National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Muhammad Argungu, and separately confirmed by the National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.
The party stated that the decision aligns with the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), the Electoral Act 2026, and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) revised timetable for the 2027 general elections.
According to the updated schedule, the sale of forms will take place from April 25 to May 2, 2026, while the submission of completed forms will close on May 4, 2026.
Screening of aspirants is fixed for May 6 to May 9, 2026, covering State Houses of Assembly, House of Representatives, Senate, governorship and presidential aspirants in phases.
The party added, “Screening appeals: State House of Assembly and House of Representatives — Tuesday, 12th to Wednesday, 13th May, 2026.”
Primary elections will commence on May 15, 2026, beginning with the House of Representatives, followed by Senate, State Houses of Assembly, governorship and presidential primaries, ending on May 23, 2026.
The APC also released the cost of Expression of Interest and Nomination forms.
