The All Progressives Congress (APC) has extended the deadline for the sale and submission of Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms ahead of the 2027 general elections, in what is a key adjustment in its electoral timetable.
The announcement was made in a statement issued on Monday by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, who also confirmed changes to the screening schedule.
According to the party, “the sale of forms has been extended to midnight on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, while the submission of completed forms will now close at midnight on Thursday, May 7, 2026.”
The APC further outlined a revised screening timeline for aspirants across all positions.
“The screening of aspirants will take place from Friday, May 8, to Tuesday, May 12, 2026, with the publication of screened aspirants scheduled for Wednesday, May 13, 2026.”
The development comes after the ruling party had earlier pegged its nomination fees at ₦100 million for presidential aspirants and ₦50 million for governorship hopefuls, with other categories also attracting significant costs.
The party had initially scheduled the sale of forms to run from April 25 to May 2, 2026, but the process began three days behind schedule, prompting the latest extension.
With the revised timeline now in place, the APC is expected to continue preparations for a smooth and competitive primary process as political activities intensify ahead of 2027.
