It added that state and senatorial district congresses will be conducted at the same time as the state congresses, in line with the party’s timetable.
However, the APC disclosed that Ekiti, Osun, Rivers states, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) will not participate in the ward, local government, and state congresses.
Despite this exclusion, the party clarified that the affected states and the FCT will still take part in the election of three delegates to the party’s national convention.
The statement further explained that the purchase and completion of forms will be done online, stressing that access to both the expression of interest and nomination forms will only be granted after payment verification and validation by the APC National Secretariat.
“All payments are to be made in full directly into the designated bank accounts of the All Progressives Congress,” the party added.
