ABUJA: The ruling All Progressives Congress APC has said the failure of opposition political parties to meet the Independent National Electoral Commission’s INEC deadline for the submission of names of candidates for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections exposes their unpreparedness.
In a statement on Sunday, the APC said it successfully met INEC’s deadline for the submission of names of its candidates, despite the large number of party candidates contesting on its platform for the various elective offices.
“The All Progressives Congress (APC) is pleased to announce that it successfully met the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) deadline for the submission of names of its candidates for the 2027 Presidential and National Assembly elections. Our great Party satisfied this requirement despite the large number of Party candidates contesting on the Party’s platform for the various elective offices,” the statement read.
The party noted that at the request of opposition political parties that had failed to meet the July 11 deadline, INEC granted an extension of the deadline to July 14, 2026.
