The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) have started uploading the names and particulars of their governorship and state Houses of Assembly candidates for the 2027 general elections to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s nomination portal.
The PDP National Organising Secretary, Umar Bature, confirmed the commencement of the exercise by the opposition party on Saturday, while a senior APC official said the ruling party had also started submitting the details of candidates cleared by its primary election appeal panel and National Working Committee (NWC).
Bature, speaking on the exercise, said the PDP had not had any technical problem since the process began.
“The Peoples Democratic Party began uploading details of its governorship and state Houses of Assembly candidates to the INEC nomination portal on Saturday.
“The exercise has been going well, no technical issues and we are confident the upload process will be completed well ahead of the deadline,” he said.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had fixed the submission of nomination forms for governorship and state Houses of Assembly candidates to run from 9am on July 18 to 6pm on August 8, 2026.
Earlier, political parties submitted the nomination lists of their presidential and National Assembly candidates between June 27 and July 11.
The exercise involved the submission of Forms EC9 and EC9A to EC9E according to Section 29(1) of the Electoral Act, 2026.
An APC chieftain who spoke to The PUNCH on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media said the party was giving priority to serving governors who were seeking re-election.
“The upload process started yesterday and I can confirm that the party prioritised those 16 governors seeking re-election,” said the official.
The APC source added that only candidates whose nominations survived petitions before the primary election appeal committee and got the approval of the NWC would be uploaded.
“There could be slight changes to the initial list of candidates, as the primary election appeal committee had reviewed some petitions and submitted its recommendations to the National Working Committee,” the source said.
“So, only candidates that passed through the appeal committee review and got clearance from NWC were uploaded to INEC portal.
“We are sure exercise will be done before deadline.”
Expected on the APC list are Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom, Hyacinth Alia of Benue, Uba Sani of Kaduna, Abba Yusuf of Kano, Dikko Radda of Katsina and Nasir Idris of Kebbi among the incumbent governors.
Others are Umaru Bago of Niger, Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau, Ahmed Aliyu of Sokoto, Agbu Kefas of Taraba and Dauda Lawal of Zamfara.
First-time flagbearers, including Lagos State Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat; Senator Solomon Adeola in Ogun; Kingsley Chinda in Rivers; and Eric Opah in Abia are also expected to make the party’s governorship list.
Other names mentioned by the party source include Mohammed Abubakar from Bauchi, Mustapha Gubio from Borno, Jamilu Gwamna from Gombe, Ahmed Wadada from Nasarawa and Baba Malam Wali from Yobe.
The official said the APC had set up a committee headed by Jibrin Bancir, the Principal Private Secretary to the party’s national chairman, to coordinate the collection and transmission of documents needed for the exercise.

“The committee receives documents from state chairmen, verifies details, ensures all requirements are met and forwards it to the ICT department for upload.
“The arrangement is to make the process seamless, efficient and timely,” the source added.
The personal particulars of presidential and National Assembly candidates will be published on August 8, according to INEC’s timetable.
The governorship and state Houses of Assembly candidates details will be released on August 29.
Political parties have up to August 22 to withdraw or substitute presidential and National Assembly candidates, while September 19 is the deadline for withdrawal or substitution of governorship and state Assembly candidates.
The PDP, APC and other political parties are expected to submit a total of 28 governorship candidates and 993 candidates for state Houses of Assembly nationwide.
Anambra, Bayelsa, Edo, Ekiti, Imo, Kogi, Ondo and Osun states will not hold governorship elections as their elections are conducted outside the general election cycle.
