APC Fixes Nomination Form Fees for 2027 Elections, Presidency Tops at N200m
— Senate pegged at N100m, Governorship N150m, Reps N70m, Assembly N20m
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the official prices for its nomination and expression of interest forms ahead of the forthcoming elections, with the presidential ticket set at a staggering N200 million.
According to the party’s breakdown, aspirants seeking to contest under the APC platform are expected to pay varying sums depending on the office being sought.
A presidential aspirant will pay N200 million for both the nomination and expression of interest forms, making it the highest on the list.
For senatorial positions, the party fixed the fee at N100 million, while aspirants to the House of Representatives are to pay N70 million.
Governorship hopefuls will part with N150 million to secure the party’s ticket, while those vying for seats in the State Houses of Assembly are expected to pay N20 million.
The development signals the party’s early preparations for the next general elections and has sparked conversations around the rising cost of political participation in Nigeria.
Political analysts note that while the fees may help streamline the number of aspirants, concerns remain about inclusivity and the ability of younger or less financially endowed candidates to participate in the democratic process.
Further details on timelines and modalities for the purchase of forms are expected to be released by the party in due course.
