Bauchi APC to Implement Direct Primaries for 2027 Governorship and Other Party Tickets

The stakeholders’ meeting brought together key figures from across the party’s structure, including senators, members of the House of Representatives, former governors, and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara. Also present were state executive members of the APC, local government party chairmen, and other influential party leaders. Their collective endorsement underscores the broad support for the change within the party’s leadership.

The shift to direct primaries reflects a growing trend in Nigerian politics toward more participatory and transparent internal elections. As the 2027 elections draw nearer, the APC in Bauchi State aims to set a precedent for fair and inclusive candidate selection. This decision could influence how other state chapters of the party approach their own primary processes in the coming years.
