The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially rescheduled the party’s National Assembly primary elections in Zamfara State.

The decision to shift the internal election timelines stems from acute logistical challenges, administrative delays, and the urgent need to resolve lingering operational disputes among key stakeholders within the state’s party structure.

According to an official directive issued from the party’s national headquarters in Abuja, the postponement was deemed absolutely necessary to safeguard the integrity of the exercise. The NWC emphasized that adjusting the electoral window would grant the deployed committee sufficient time to securely distribute sensitive voting materials across all designated centers and transparently clear any administrative bottlenecks that could otherwise compromise the fairness of the legislative nominations.

The timing of this rescheduling is particularly sensitive given Zamfara’s complex political history regarding party primaries.

The national leadership is reportedly taking extra precautions to prevent a recurrence of past internal crises and legal entanglements that previously jeopardized the party’s electoral fortunes in the state.

By extending the preparation window, the NWC aims to ensure strict compliance with both the APC constitution and the guidelines of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

In light of the sudden adjustment, the national body has appealed for calm, urging all senatorial and House of Representatives aspirants, local party executives, and card-carrying members across Zamfara’s federal constituencies to maintain absolute order.

The party reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to providing a level playing field for all contestants, reminding stakeholders that internal cohesion and a unified front are vital if the ruling party is to secure a decisive victory in the upcoming general elections.
