The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress has approved an extension of the timelines for the sale and submission of nomination forms ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The decision was reached during a meeting held on Thursday at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.
Addressing journalists after the meeting, the party’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Durosinmi Meseko, said the sale of Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms will now close at midnight on Monday, May 4, 2026.
“The sale of forms will now close at midnight on Monday, May 4, 2026, while the submission of completed forms and accompanying documents has been extended to midnight on Tuesday, May 5, 2026,” Meseko said.
He explained that the extension became necessary due to the disruption caused by a nationwide public holiday and the growing interest among aspirants.
“The need to extend the dates became necessary because of the public holiday observed nationwide on Friday and to accommodate the high level of interest from aspirants,” he added.
Under the previous schedule, the sale of forms was to run from April 25 to May 2, 2026, while submission of completed forms was expected to close on May 4, 2026.
The extension provides additional time for prospective candidates to complete the process as the party intensifies preparations for the 2027 polls.
