The Digest:
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has released its schedule of activities in preparation for the 2027 elections. In a statement issued on Monday night, the ruling party fixed May 15 and 16 for the election of its presidential candidate. The party also pegged the presidential nomination form at N70 million. Further details on other elective positions and specific guidelines are expected in subsequent announcements.
Key Points:
- The APC is the first major party to release its 2027 election timetable.
- A N70 million nomination fee may limit the number of presidential aspirants.
- The primary election is scheduled for mid-May 2026.
- Other political parties are expected to release their timetables soon.
- The high cost of forms raises questions about political inclusivity.
