INEC sets July 11 deadline for candidate submission amid post-primary chaos

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed July 11, 2026, as the deadline for political parties to submit candidates' particulars for the 2027 general elections. The commission also announced that access codes for its nomination portal will be issued to political parties on June 26, 2026. This move comes as political parties intensify efforts to resolve post-primary disputes and finalize candidate nominations following a Federal High Court ruling that nullified parts of INEC's revised election timetable. The court held that INEC cannot lawfully shorten the statutory timelines outlined in the Electoral Act, 2026. INEC has warned that any primary elections conducted after the May 30 deadline will not be recognized unless a higher court overturns the Federal High Court judgment. The commission has filed an appeal but maintains that parties must comply with existing legal provisions. Before the court […]

2027: INEC Voids Primaries Held After May 30

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned political parties that any internal party primary election conducted outside its May 30, 2026 deadline will be voided. The commission cautioned political parties to strictly adhere to the electoral timetable and conduct their primaries within the stipulated timeframe, saying any party that fails to comply will be at its own risk. The directive comes as political parties begin preparations for the 2027 general elections, with many parties already holding their internal primaries to select candidates for various positions across the federation. INEC's warning is aimed at preventing electoral chaos and ensuring that all parties follow the same timeline for candidate selection, which is crucial for the commission's ability to process and manage the electoral process effectively. Political analysts say the commission's position is based on the need to align internal party processes […]

2027: Wike Bars Unrecognised Party Factions From Abuja Event Centres, Hotels

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reportedly warned that unrecognised or court-disputed factions of political parties will not be allowed to use Abuja event centres and hotels for conventions or political gatherings ahead of the 2027 elections. The move comes amid ongoing controversy over the African Democratic Congress (ADC) convention venue saga, in which party officials alleged that the proprietor of Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja cancelled their fully paid booking after coming under pressure from the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) and the FCT Minister. The ADC claimed the venue owner was threatened with licence revocation if he allowed the convention to proceed at the facility. Wike has repeatedly denied these allegations, insisting that no formal application was submitted to use major public venues such as Eagle Square or the Moshood Abiola National Stadium. He […]

2027 polls: Supreme Court to decide PDP, ADC fate today

The Supreme Court will today deliver key judgments that will decide the fate of the Peoples Democratic Party and the African Democratic Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections. The apex court is set to rule on four appeals linked to leadership crises tearing through the two opposition parties. In the case of the PDP, the appeals centre on the validity of the party’s national convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025. A faction led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is asking the court to uphold the convention and its decisions, while rival groups insist due process was not followed. Previous rulings from lower courts faulted the PDP for obtaining conflicting orders from courts of equal rank over its internal dispute. One Court of Appeal decision described the party’s actions as an abuse of […]

APC targets rancour free primaries with revised timetable

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has unveiled a revised timetable for its primaries and says it is working towards rancour free exercises across the states ahead of the next general election. The move followed a major consultation meeting at the Presidential Villa between President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and APC governors, where they reviewed preparations for the party’s candidate selection process. From tomorrow, the party’s national secretariat and state offices are expected to come alive with the commencement of sale of Expression of Interest and Nomination forms to all eligible party members. The APC also confirmed that its electronic membership register has been transmitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in line with the Electoral Act, which restricts participation in primaries to members on the list. Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other party leaders say early submission of the register […]

ADC national convention: Security beefed up as 3,000 delegates elect new NWC

Security has been tightened in and around the Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja, venue of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) national convention. About 3,000 delegates are expected to take part in the convention, where they will elect members of a new National Working Committee (NWC) to run the party’s affairs for the next four years. Personnel of the Nigeria Police and the Department of State Services (DSS) are stationed at the main entrance, subjecting delegates and journalists to thorough security checks before granting access. Patrol vehicles have also been positioned at strategic locations around the venue. The convention is taking place against the backdrop of a leadership crisis in the ADC, with two factions laying claim to control of the party. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had earlier suspended recognition of all factions, following Court of Appeal rulings and […]

ADC crisis deepens as David Mark‑led NWC, state chairmen clash over party control

The leadership crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress has worsened as a bloc of state chairmen has openly clashed with the David Mark‑led National Working Committee over control of the party. The 25 chairmen, who say they constitute the core of the party’s National Executive Committee, announced in Abuja that they have collectively assumed interim leadership of the ADC. Their move follows the Independent National Electoral Commission’s decision to delist Mark and National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola from its records and to stop recognising any of the contending factions pending a court ruling. INEC’s action, based on a Court of Appeal judgment in the leadership dispute between Mark and Nafiu Bala Gombe, effectively left the party without an officially recognised national chairman. Led by Abia chairman Don Norman Obinna, the state chairmen rejected both the Mark coalition and the Gombe camp, […]

IPAC urges INEC to be cautious on ADC crisis, voter plan

The Inter Party Advisory Council has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to act with caution in handling the leadership crisis in the African Democratic Congress and its proposed nationwide voter revalidation exercise. IPAC said recent steps taken by the commission risk deepening tension and raising doubts about its neutrality ahead of the 2027 elections. IPAC expressed concern over INEC’s decision to freeze recognition of the Senator David Mark led National Working Committee of the ADC while court cases on the party’s leadership are still pending. It noted that even where internal leadership is being contested, this does not mean there is a vacuum, and warned that removing names of party leaders from INEC’s portal at this stage appears premature. The council warned that such actions could set a troubling precedent and create avoidable instability in the party system if […]

Amupitan warns ADC against convention without INEC

Legal scholar and INEC chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, has warned the African Democratic Congress against going ahead with any national convention that is not monitored by the electoral commission. He said such a move would have serious legal consequences and could invalidate decisions taken at the gathering. His warning follows the commission’s recent decision to suspend recognition of all factions of the ADC’s national leadership, pending the outcome of court cases over the party’s chairmanship and National Working Committee. INEC had earlier announced that it would not monitor any meeting, congress or convention convened on behalf of the ADC until the Federal High Court in Abuja delivers its judgment. Amupitan explained that the Electoral Act requires INEC to monitor party congresses and conventions that elect or remove national officers, approve constitutions or amend party rules. Holding such events without INEC’s […]

INEC Recognises Abdulrahman Mohammed As PDP National Chairman

The Independent National Electoral Commission has recognised Abdulrahman Mohammed as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party. The recognition follows recent court decisions and the outcome of the party’s latest convention in Abuja. INEC’s position aligns with a Federal High Court judgment which voided the party’s November 16, 2025 convention in Ibadan and affirmed the Abdulrahman led structure. The commission subsequently updated its records to reflect Mohammed and his team as the authorised PDP leadership. At the recent PDP convention, delegates endorsed Abdulrahman Mohammed and a 22 member National Working Committee through a consensus arrangement. The convention was largely driven by a bloc of the party loyal to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike. Other national officers returned alongside Mohammed include Samuel Anyanwu as national secretary and several deputies and financial officers. Party insiders say the new leadership has been […]
