The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially distanced itself from a list purporting to contain the names of successful candidates from its recently concluded primary elections, which has been widely circulated online. The party issued a stern warning to its members and the general public against relying on these unauthorised publications, labeling them as false and misleading.
In a public notice released on Sunday, the APC clarified that it has not yet released any official compilation of winners from the primaries. The disclaimer, signed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, was shared across its official communication platforms, including its X (formerly Twitter) account.
“The public is therefore advised to disregard any publication or report purporting to announce the outcome of the primaries, as such information is false and unauthorised,” the statement read, urging all stakeholders to exercise caution and verify information from credible sources.
Official Notification Process Outlined
The APC further elaborated on its established procedures for communicating primary election results. According to the party, successful aspirants will receive formal notification exclusively through its recognised official channels. Following this direct communication, Certificates of Return will be issued in line with party guidelines.
The party stressed that this structured process is designed to ensure transparency and prevent misinformation, safeguarding the integrity of its internal democratic exercises. It appealed to members, stakeholders, and the broader public to rely solely on official APC communications for accurate updates regarding the outcome of its primary elections.
This decisive action by the APC aims to curb the spread of unverified information and maintain order within its ranks, ensuring that only authenticated results are acknowledged.
