In a statement published on the party’s official platform, the APC described the reports as false and misleading, insisting that the dates earlier announced for the primaries remain unchanged.

According to the party, the House of Representatives primary election will hold on Friday, May 15, 2026, while the Senate primary is scheduled for Monday, May 18, 2026.

The APC also confirmed that the State House of Assembly primary election will take place on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, followed by the governorship primary on Thursday, May 21, 2026.

The presidential primary election, according to the party, is scheduled for Saturday, May 23, 2026.

“This clarification has become necessary following the circulation of false and misleading reports on social media and other communication platforms suggesting otherwise,” the statement read.

The ruling party urged members and supporters to rely only on official communication channels for accurate information regarding its electoral activities.
