The All Progressives Congress has reaffirmed that the dates fixed for its 2027 primary elections remain unchanged, dismissing reports circulating on social media suggesting a postponement or adjustment of the timetable.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, the party said the clarification became necessary due to the spread of what it described as false and misleading information regarding the exercise.
“The dates scheduled for the Party’s forthcoming Primary Elections for the 2027 General Elections remain unchanged,” the party stated.
The ruling party urged members, aspirants, and supporters to ignore unofficial reports and rely only on information released through authorised party channels.
“This clarification has become necessary following the circulation of false and misleading reports on social media and other communication platforms suggesting otherwise,” the statement read.
The APC also restated the approved timetable for the primaries.
According to the party, the House of Representatives primary election will hold on Friday, May 15, 2026, while the Senate primary is scheduled for Monday, May 18, 2026.
The State House of Assembly primary will take place on Wednesday, May 20, followed by the governorship primary on Thursday, May 21.
The presidential primary election is expected to hold on Saturday, May 23, 2026.
“As earlier announced, the Primary Elections will be held as follows,” the party added while listing the dates.
