The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially uploaded all its candidates for the 2027 general elections on the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) Candidate Nomination Portal, marking a major step in the party’s electoral preparations. National Chairman of the APC, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, confirmed the submission in a statement released on Saturday, highlighting the party’s commitment to transparency and timely compliance with electoral procedures. The party submitted a total of 471 candidates, including the presidential and vice-presidential tickets, 109 senatorial aspirants, and 360 candidates for the House of Representatives. This comprehensive upload ensures that all APC nominees are formally registered and eligible for the upcoming elections.
Professor Yilwatda expressed satisfaction with the achievement, calling it a significant milestone for the ruling party. He emphasized that the successful 100% upload of candidates across all elective positions reflects the party’s organizational strength and readiness for the 2027 elections. “I congratulate our candidates, leaders, and members of APC on the successful 100% upload of our Presidential, Vice Presidential, Senate, and House of Representatives candidates on the INEC Candidate Nomination Portal,” he stated. The chairman noted that this accomplishment sets the stage for the next phase of electoral activities, including campaign mobilization and voter engagement.
The submission of candidates to INEC’s portal is a critical requirement under Nigeria’s electoral laws, ensuring that all political parties meet the necessary deadlines for nomination and verification. By completing this process ahead of schedule, the APC demonstrates its preparedness and adherence to electoral timelines. The party’s leadership believes this early action will allow for more effective campaign planning and greater public outreach in the months leading up to the polls. With the candidate list now officially recorded, the focus shifts to building momentum and securing voter support across the country.
The 2027 general elections will be a key moment for Nigeria’s democratic process, with millions of voters expected to participate. The APC’s full submission of candidates positions the party as a major contender in the upcoming race. As the party moves forward, its leadership will likely intensify efforts to rally supporters, organize campaign events, and address key issues affecting Nigerians. The successful upload also sets a precedent for other political parties to follow suit, reinforcing the importance of timely and transparent electoral processes. The APC’s next steps will be closely watched as the nation prepares for what promises to be a highly competitive election cycle.
