The All Progressives Congress (APC) has extended the dates for the purchase and submission of forms for its zonal congresses and national convention.

The party’s national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, announced this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, saying purchase and submission of forms would now hold from March 12 to 23, 2026.

He added that the date adjustment does not affect the previously scheduled dates for the zonal congress and the national convention.

Mr Morka said the party’s zonal congress would be held on March 25, while its national convention would take place from March 26 to 27, 2026, as earlier announced.

He said the South-South zonal congress would now be held in Asaba, Delta.

“Official notice of these changes in the schedule of activities has been duly given to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as required by law,” Mr Morka said.

He urged all the party’s members and stakeholders to take note of these updates and make the necessary adjustments.
