APC to Hold Presidential Primaries in 8,809 Wards Nationwide

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced plans to conduct presidential primaries across 8,809 wards in Nigeria, as detailed in a statement issued by the party's National Public Secretary, Felix Morka. The primaries will allow registered APC members to vote for their preferred presidential aspirants.

The elections are scheduled to take place on May 24, 2026, and will involve a direct primary process. The party's guidelines include the appointment of state coordinators and local government officials to oversee the conduct of the elections and the collection of results.

The primaries will encompass all 774 local government areas in Nigeria, with the results expected to be presented to the presidential primaries election committee in Abuja. This announcement follows the APC's previous endorsement of Bola Tinubu as its sole presidential candidate at the national level.
