2027 Elections: INEC Extends Candidate Submission Deadline
INEC said the three-day extension follows appeals from parties that could not upload candidate details and is meant to ensure wider participation.
- The Independent National Electoral Commission extended the deadline for political parties to submit candidate lists for the 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections from Saturday, July 11, to midnight on Tuesday, July 14, 2026.
- Following appeals from the Inter-Party Advisory Council , the commission granted this three-day extension after parties encountered technical difficulties using the candidate nomination portal to finalize submissions.
- Amid these challenges, the Nyesom Wike-backed Peoples Democratic Party faction successfully uploaded its presidential candidate, Sandy Onor, and running mate, Babangida Umaru, to the nomination portal.
- National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka of the All Progressives Congress criticized opposition parties for failing to meet the original deadline, stating the delay exposes a lack of operational readiness to govern.
- With its nominations concluded, the APC is preparing for the January 16, 2027, general elections, turning its attention to grassroots mobilization and promoting President Bola Tinubu's 'Renewed Hope Agenda'.
