The National Secretariat of the All People’s Congress (APC) has postponed its District Elections from Saturday, 19 September 2026, to Saturday, 26 September 2026.
The decision was announced in a public notice dated 17 September 2026, following consultations between the APC National Secretariat and the Independent Elections Management Committee (IEMC) in the wake of what the party described as an “unfortunate incident” during recent elections.
According to the notice, the incident resulted in injuries to party election personnel and deployed security personnel. Some of those injured are currently receiving medical treatment, while one security officer reportedly died from injuries sustained during the incident.
The APC said the one-week postponement would provide additional time for outstanding electoral processes to be properly concluded ahead of the rescheduled polls.
The party also called on the Independent Elections Complaints Board (IECB) to expedite the resolution of pending election petitions to ensure that, as far as practicable, all districts are able to participate in the elections on 26 September.
Aspirants, delegates, party members, election officials and other stakeholders have been urged to take note of the revised date and make the necessary preparations for the rescheduled elections.
The APC National Secretariat expressed sympathy to the family of the deceased security officer and wished those injured a full and speedy recovery.
The District Elections form part of the party’s ongoing internal electoral processes aimed at strengthening its structures across the country.
