ADC Unveils Fresh 2027 Primary Timetable As Race For Tickets Intensifies.

The updated schedule was made public on Wednesday through a statement jointly signed by the party’s National Organising Secretary, Chinedu Idigo, and National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi.

According to the statement, the adjustment followed requests from aspirants as well as logistical considerations.

Under the new schedule, the deadline for submission of nomination forms has been extended by one day and will now close on May 14, 2026, instead of the earlier date of May 13.

The party also disclosed that the screening of aspirants, initially fixed for May 14 to May 15, has been shifted to May 16 and May 17, 2026.

It added that every other date previously announced in the timetable remains unchanged.

Meanwhile, the ADC State Chairmen Forum has cautioned aspirants against purchasing expression of interest and nomination forms from the faction led by Senator David Mark, warning that doing so could lead to disqualification from the 2027 contest.

The forum argued that the sale of forms by the Mark-led group violates an April 29 ruling of the Abuja High Court and may carry serious legal implications.

reports that the warning was contained in a statement issued by Norman Obinna, Publicity Secretary of the state chairmen-led National Executive Committee (NEC) forum.

Obinna maintained that the sale of forms by the David Mark faction allegedly contravenes the judgment delivered by Justice J.O. Abdulmalik of the Federal High Court, Abuja, in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/581/2026 on April 29, 2026.
