The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has officially set the screening dates for candidates aspiring to secure national and state Assembly seats, marking a significant step in its electoral preparations ahead of the 2026 general elections. This announcement comes as political parties across Nigeria intensify their efforts to finalize candidates in a competitive and dynamic political landscape.
The screening is scheduled for May 20-22, 2026, and aims to select candidates who align with APGA's vision and electoral strategy. “We are committed to ensuring that only the most capable and dedicated individuals represent our party in the upcoming elections,” said Chief Victor Oye, National Chairman of APGA. This focus on quality candidates reflects APGA's desire to regain influence and appeal to voters amid rising competition from other political groups.
As Nigeria approaches election season, the importance of candidate selection cannot be overstated. APGA's proactive approach in screening candidates may enhance its prospects, especially in states where it aims to reclaim lost ground. The coming weeks will be crucial as the party seeks to galvanize support and present a united front to voters.
