The Road to 2027: Key Election Milestones & Deadlines

As preparations for the 2027 General Elections continue, stakeholders are tracking key timelines released by INEC Nigeria that are shaping the electoral roadmap.

As at May 12, 2026, five political parties (APC, ADC, LP, APGA, and PDP) have published date-specific primary schedules.

The APC will hold primaries from May 15–23, beginning with the House of Representatives (May 15), Senate (May 18), State House of Assembly (May 20), governorship (May 21), and presidential primary on May 23, 2026.

The ADC has scheduled National Assembly and State House of Assembly primaries for May 21, governorship on May 22, and presidential primary on May 23, 2026.

The Labour Party (LP) will conduct State House of Assembly and governorship primaries on May 27, and National Assembly and presidential primaries on May 29, 2026.

The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has fixed all primaries for May 23, 2026.

Within the PDP, parallel timelines persist: the Wike-aligned faction holds its presidential primary for May 17–18, 2026, followed by House of Representatives primaries on May 21, Senate primaries on May 23, State House of Assembly primaries on May 25, and governorship primaries on May 27, 2026.

In contrast, the Turaki-led faction has scheduled ward primaries for all offices on May 27, with appeals on May 28, 2026.

As political parties, aspirants, and citizens begin positioning for the next electoral cycle, tracking these deadlines remains critical to understanding how the process unfolds and what to expect in the months ahead.
