The All Progressives Congress has said its ongoing sale of nomination forms for the 2027 elections shows strong internal democracy within the party.
The exercise is taking place at the Abuja Continental Hotel, where aspirants are registering to contest different political positions.
National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda said members are freely picking forms to challenge for offices, including seats currently held by governors, senators and even President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
He said the level of participation reflects broad acceptance of the party.
He noted that the process has run smoothly without complaints, adding that payments and documentation are being handled by party officials and banks.
According to him, monitoring channels have not recorded any issues from participants.
Yilwatda added that the APC remains committed to inclusion and will continue its procedures as scheduled.
He also said any change to the deadline for form sales would follow internal approval processes.
