The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has approved an extension of the timelines for the sale and submission of Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms for the 2027 general elections.
The decision was taken at a meeting held on Thursday at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja.
Briefing journalists after the meeting, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Hon. Durosinmi Meseko, said the sale of forms will now close at midnight on Monday, May 4, 2026, while submission of completed forms and accompanying documents has been extended to midnight on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.
He explained that the adjustment became necessary due to the recent public holiday and the high volume of interest shown by aspirants across the country.
Initially, the party had fixed Saturday, May 2, 2026, for the closure of sales, while submission of forms was earlier scheduled to end on Monday, May 4, 2026.
The APC said the extension is aimed at giving more aspirants adequate time to complete their application process ahead of the 2027 general elections.
