In 2027, APC members alone can re‑elect Tinubu,

The All Progressives Congress (APC) is Nigeria’s ruling party, and its internal primary elections determine who will be its presidential candidate. Bola Tinubu’s first term runs from 2023 to 2027; to win a second term, he must first secure the APC’s nomination. Because the APC’s candidate is chosen exclusively by party members and delegates, Tinubu’s re‑election in 2027 depends on winning that internal party vote. If he garners enough support within the APC, he can become the party’s flag‑bearer and then contest the national election for a second term as president. Views Nigeria
