The All Progressives Congress (APC) has extended the deadline for the sale and submission of forms for its forthcoming zonal congress and national convention, the party said in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja.
The zonal congresses and national convention are part of the APC’s internal calendar of activities ahead of its national convention and other party elections.
The party publishes a timetable for the purchase and submission of forms as part of preparations for these events, which culminate in the election of new party executives.
The APC’s internal timetable includes ward, local government, state, and zonal congresses, followed by the national convention scheduled for late March 2026.
In the statement posted via the party’s X handle and signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Felix Morka, the APC said the purchase and submission of forms will now take place from March 12 to March 23, 2026.
The party clarified that this extension does not affect the previously announced dates for the conduct of the zonal congresses and the national convention.
The zonal congresses are scheduled for March 25, 2026, while the national convention is set to hold from March 26 to March 27, 2026.
The APC also said there will be a change of venue for the South-South zonal congress, which will now take place in Asaba, Delta State.
The party added that it has communicated the changes to the Independent National Electoral Commission as required by law.
The party urged its members and stakeholders to note the updates and make the necessary arrangements ahead of the events.
The party said, “Purchase and submission of forms will now hold from March 12, 2026 to March 23, 2026.
The party wishes to clarify that this adjustment does not affect the previously scheduled dates for the conduct of the zonal congress and the National Convention.”
It also said, “The zonal congress will hold on March 25, 2026, while the National Convention will take place from March 26 to March 27, 2026, as earlier announced.”
The extension of the deadline for purchase and submission of forms for the zonal congress and national convention reflects adjustments in the APC’s preparations for its internal decision-making processes.
These events form part of a series of party congresses and conventions ahead of the 2027 general elections and are aimed at selecting party executives and mobilising members nationwide.
