THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC) has picked June 6 and 7 as new dates for its presidential primaries.
This national leadership of the party took this decision barely two hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, shifted the deadline for the concludion of all the 18 political parties primaries to June 9. The original date of the exercise was earlier slated for Sunday, May 29.
APC’s announcement comes after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) accepted appeals by political parties to extend the dates for the conduct of primary elections.
Earlier, political parties had requested for 37 to 60 days extension of the timeline for primaries and the nomination of candidates but the commission refused the plea initially.
