APC NEC to approve presidential primaries dates today

 

The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will ratify the dates for the presidential primaries ahead of the 2023 general elections later on today.

The ratification will be done when the NEC meets today in Abuja.

The approval of the presidential primaries date is one of many other things that the NEC will deliberate on at the meeting, Daily Trust reports.

This will be the first NEC meeting since the emergence of the Senator Abdullahi Adamu-led National Working Committee (NWC) of the party on March 26, 2022.

The NEC will also approve May 23, 2022 for the governorship primaries.

A calendar of political party primaries for 2023 presidential primaries designed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) indicates that APC would hold its presidential primaries on May 30 and 31, 2022, while the governorship primaries would be held on May 23.

It also indicates that the leading opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would hold its presidential primaries on May 29, and its governorship on May 21, 2022.

The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and Labour Party (LP) have slated May 25-26 and June 3 for the presidential primaries and May 20 and June 1, 2022 for the governorship.
