The All Progressives Congress has dismissed circulating reports suggesting changes to the timetable for its 2027 primary elections, insisting that the previously announced dates remain unchanged.
The party made the clarification in a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.
According to the statement, the clarification became necessary following the circulation of false and misleading reports on social media and other communication platforms claiming that the primary election dates had been altered.
The APC said its House of Representatives primary election will hold on Friday, May 15, 2026, while the Senate primary is scheduled for Monday, May 18, 2026.
It added that the State House of Assembly primary election will take place on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, followed by the governorship primary on Thursday, May 21, 2026.
The party further stated that its presidential primary election will hold on Saturday, May 23, 2026.
The statement reaffirmed that the timetable remains unchanged as earlier announced.
The clarification comes after the conclusion of the party’s screening exercise, which was held between May 8 and May 12, 2026.
Earlier, the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, had urged aspirants and their supporters to conduct themselves peacefully during the primaries.
