The All Progressives Congress (APC) has fixed its presidential primary election for May 23, 2026, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
NewsWatch Nigeria reports that the ruling party also dismissed reports suggesting that the exercise had been postponed.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, described reports circulating on social media and other platforms about changes to the timetable as false and misleading.
According to the timetable released by the party, the House of Representatives primary election will be held on May 15, 2026.
The Senate primary election is scheduled for May 18, while the State House of Assembly primary will take place on May 20.
The APC also fixed its governorship primary election for May 21, with the presidential primary slated for May 23.
Meanwhile, the party on Saturday commenced the screening of incumbent governors ahead of the 2027 elections.
Governors screened by the committee included Abba Yusuf of Kano State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe State, Nasir Idris of Kebbi State, Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State and Hyacinth Alia of Benue State.
Others screened were Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, Umar Bago of Niger State, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, Bassey Otu of Cross River State and Ahmed Aliyu of Sokoto State.
