2027: No review of primary results – APC to finalize list of candidates

The All Progressives Congress (APC) ruled out review of the results of its recently conducted primary elections, as it finalised its list of candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.

This comes amid despite mounting petitions and protests by dozens of aggrieved aspirants across the country.

Punch reports that the ruling party has concluded work on the results submitted to its national secretariat and is preparing to upload the names of successful candidates to the Independent National Electoral Commission portal.

The development effectively shuts the door on fresh appeals and demands for fresh primaries by disgruntled members who have accused party officials of manipulation and imposition during the exercise.

The APC, according to a principal official of the party and another member of the National Working Committee, has neither altered nor is considering reviewing the results of the recently concluded primaries.

“We are not reviewing the results of the primaries. The timeline for primaries and appeals has already elapsed. We are waiting for the code to upload the results of the winners of the primaries.

“Everything has been concluded. We don’t know anything about the review they are talking about,” the principal official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Punch.
