Following the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, activation of its online portal for political parties to upload names of their candidates for various elective positions ahead of 2027 election, the ruling All Progressives Congress APC has expressed readiness to meet the deadline.
The APC Director of Information, Mr. Bala Ibrahim while speaking to journalists on the development said the party had already concluded internal screening of aspirants and was only awaiting INEC’s official timetable
“We have been working on these names for some time and have screened those who are qualified to contest.
“Now that INEC is set to receive submissions, we will comply to ensure we meet all requirements”Ibrahim said.
He stressed that once the nomination window opens, the party will submit its list and subsequently issue Certificates of Return to candidates who emerge victorious at the primaries.
“Transparency is key. If you want to do things by the book, without disenfranchising anyone, you must be meticulous and ensure every process is acceptable to all stakeholders,” he said.
The APC gave the assurance amid criticism over delays in releasing primary election results and issuing Certificates of Return to winners.
