APC sells 2027 nomination forms April 25 at N70m presidential, N30m expression of interest
APC starts selling 2027 nomination forms April 25 at N70 million for presidential nomination forms and N30 million for expression of interest (both for presidential candidates), with submissions due May 4. The sale runs through May 2 following NWC approval shared with INEC.
Screening for legislative and governorship candidates occurs May 6-8, presidential aspirants May 9. Primaries follow: House of Representatives May 15, Senate May 18, State Assembly May 20, governorship May 21, and presidential May 23.
The party uses a hybrid model: consensus primaries require unanimous aspirant agreement; any disagreement triggers direct primaries. Forms are open to all APC members with no restrictions, per Deputy National Publicity Secretary Meseko.
If you're considering running for office under APC in 2027, have you budgeted N70-N30 million for forms, and which timeline works for your desired position - especially with screening starting just days after the May 4 submission deadline?
