A tense quiet settled over the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the weekend after the first leg of its nationwide primaries produced winners but failed to produce consensus in many states. While reports indicated a peaceful ending to the House of Representatives primary elections in some states, where, in most cases, previously endorsed consensus candidates were simply ratified, in many other states, there was stiff opposition to the consensus arrangement, amid alleged imposition of candidates.
Nonetheless, APC issued guidelines and procedures for collating and announcing results from the National Assembly primary elections.National Organising Secretary, Suleiman Argungu, announced the guidelines and procedures in a memo dated May 17, 2026, addressed to all Chairmen of the National Assembly Primary Election Committees.The party explained that the results shall be collated from ward, local government area, and designated constituency collation centres, and submitted, with reports, to the national headquarters.
