2027: APGA Wike’s PDP, Otti’s LP, miss INEC deadline to submit presidential candidates
Three political parties have reportedly failed to upload the names of their presidential and vice-presidential candidates before the deadline set by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
An INEC official, who spoke anonymously because he was not authorised to comment publicly, disclosed that the affected parties are the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) faction led by Nyesom Wike, and the Labour Party (LP) faction led by Nenadi Usman.
“As of now, only about three political parties are yet to upload the names of their presidential and running mate candidates. They are APGA, the PDP (Wike faction) and the LP (Nenadi faction). Virtually every other party has filed its candidates,” the official was quoted as saying by Daily Trust.
INEC had earlier extended the deadline for political parties to submit the names of their candidates through its nomination portal from Saturday, July 11, to 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, July 14, stressing that no further extension would be granted.
According to the official, aside from the three parties that reportedly missed the deadline, almost all registered political parties successfully uploaded the names of their presidential and vice-presidential candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election is scheduled to hold on Saturday, January 16, 2027.
