The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially released its timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 general elections, outlining key processes leading to the selection of its candidates across the country.
The announcement was made in a press statement issued in Abuja on April 20, 2026, and signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.
According to the statement, the schedule of activities was endorsed by the APC National Organising Secretary, Sulaiman Muhammad Argungu, and provides a comprehensive framework for the party’s internal electoral process ahead of the 2027 polls.
The timetable covers critical stages of the nomination process, including the sale of expression of interest and nomination forms, screening of aspirants, and the handling of appeals arising from the screening exercise.
It also outlines dates for the conduct of primary elections across various elective positions, setting the tone for what the party described as a structured and orderly preparation for the general elections.
The APC leadership reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that the primaries are conducted in a credible, transparent, and inclusive manner, in line with democratic principles and best practices.
The party noted that the release of the timetable is part of efforts to deepen internal democracy and provide equal opportunity for all aspirants seeking to contest under its platform.
It further assured party members, stakeholders, and the general public of its resolve to strengthen its processes and maintain unity as preparations for the 2027 elections gather momentum.
Political observers say the early release of the timetable may give the ruling party a strategic advantage in organising its internal processes and managing potential disputes ahead of the election cycle.
The APC called on its members to adhere strictly to the guidelines contained in the timetable and participate actively in all stages of the process to ensure a smooth and successful primary election season.
