APC fixes primaries for Delta, Kogi Assembly constituencies
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has released its timetable and schedule of activities for primary elections ahead of the 2026 legislative bye-elections and polls in four State House of Assembly constituencies recently restored by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The party said the decision became necessary after INEC restored four previously suppressed state constituencies in Delta and Kogi states, requiring the APC to conduct fresh primaries to select its candidates.
The affected constituencies are Abraka, Isoko North II and Ughelli South II in Delta State, as well as Yagba West II in Kogi State.
In a notice to its state chapters, the APC also announced plans to conduct primary elections for candidates to contest the 2026 legislative bye-elections in Gombe, Bauchi, Delta and Kano states.
The affected constituencies are Gombe/Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency in Gombe State; Disina and Sakwa State Constituencies in Bauchi State; Udu State Constituency in Delta State; and Dawakin Kudu State Constituency in Kano State.
The party directed its chapters in the affected states to comply with the timetable and schedule of activities for the primary elections.
The APC said the timetable would guide the nomination and selection of its candidates for the restored constituencies and the legislative bye-elections.
The party urged all stakeholders, including aspirants, state chapters and party members in the affected constituencies, to adhere to the guidelines and timelines for the exercise.
The development follows INEC’s restoration of the four previously suppressed State House of Assembly constituencies in Delta and Kogi states and preparations for the 2026 legislative bye-elections in the affected states.
