APC Campaign Council Schedules Activities for 2027 Election

The campaign for the presidential election scheduled for January 16, 2027, is gaining momentum as the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ramps up preparations. Although campaigns officially began on August 19, many political parties have only recently started serious activities.

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) announced its campaign schedule, with the inauguration of its Presidential Campaign Council set for Wednesday next week. Senator Abdulaziz Yari, the Director-General of the APC Campaign Council, met with President Bola Tinubu to discuss campaign preparations and state visit timetables, with the campaign kickoff planned for October 24 in Kaduna.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC), led by Senator David Mark, also inaugurated its Presidential Campaign Council, urging members to engage with Nigerians across all levels. The African Action Congress (AAC) has similarly established its campaign council to mobilize support for its candidate, Omoyele Sowore.

The Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC) plans to inaugurate its campaign council on October 20, 2026.
