The All Progressives Congress (APC) has postponed its house of representatives primary election for the 2027 general elections by one day.
The exercise, initially scheduled for Friday, May 15, will now take place on Saturday, May 16.
The adjustment was announced late Thursday in a statement signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka.
According to the statement, all other previously announced primary election dates remain unchanged, including those for the Senate, State Houses of Assembly, governorship, and presidential primaries.
The development comes just hours before the originally scheduled commencement of the House of Representatives primaries.
The ruling party said the revision affects only the lower chamber primaries, while the broader timetable for the 2027 general election primaries remains intact.
The Senate primaries are scheduled for Monday, May 18, followed by State House of Assembly primaries on Wednesday, May 20.
Governorship primaries are billed for Thursday, May 21, while the presidential primary election is slated for Saturday, May 23.
The statement did not give any reason for postponing only the House of Representatives primaries.
Party officials are, however, expected to continue preparations for the remaining primaries as scheduled.
