APC Schedules Fresh Primary Elections in 8 Constituencies Across 5 States

• The APC released a combined timetable for primary elections covering restored constituencies in Delta and Kogi states
• INEC's decision to restore four previously suppressed State House of Assembly constituencies triggered the party's action
• Eight constituencies across Gombe, Bauchi, Delta, Kano, and Kogi states are now subject to the APC's internal electoral process

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced a schedule of primary elections covering eight constituencies spread across five Nigerian states, following a decision by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to reinstate previously suppressed legislative seats.

The APC national secretariat released the timetable as part of preparations for both INEC-restored constituencies and several legislative by-elections lined up for 2026.

INEC's reinstatement of four State House of Assembly constituencies in Delta and Kogi states prompted the APC to direct its state chapters to begin internal electoral preparations.

In Delta State, the constituencies affected are Abraka, Isoko North II, and Ughelli South II. In Kogi State, the seat in question is Yagba West II.

Disina and Sakwa state constituencies in Bauchi state; Udu State Constituency in Delta state; and Dawakin Kudu State Constituency in Kano state.

In total, eight constituencies across five states now fall within the party's coordinated primary exercise window.
