The All Progressives Congress (APC) has finalised its list of candidates for the 2027 general elections and ruled out any review of the recently concluded primaries, despite mounting petitions and protests by dozens of aggrieved aspirants.
A party official said the timeline for primaries and appeals has elapsed, and the party is preparing to upload winners’ names to the INEC portal. Petitions challenging outcomes in Lagos, Delta, Rivers, and other states have been dismissed as frivolous.
Key Points:
Aggrieved aspirants may defect to opposition parties or work against the APC in 2027.
Legal challenges could disrupt the party’s preparations and distract from governance.
The party’s hardline stance may deepen the internal crisis ahead of the elections.
President Tinubu has not intervened, despite expectations from some aspirants.
Indifferent party members could undermine the APC’s chances in key constituencies.
The party is waiting for INEC’s access code to upload results, with the deadline for candidate submission set for July 11, 2026.
