APC rejects fake list of primary election winners

The All Progressives Congress has distanced itself from a purported list circulating online claiming to contain the names of successful candidates from its recently concluded primary elections.

In a public notice issued on Sunday, the party said it had not released any official list of winners from the primaries and warned members and the general public against relying on unauthorised publications.

The disclaimer, signed by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, was shared on the party’s official X account.

According to the party, reports announcing the outcome of the primaries are false and should be disregarded.

“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.

The APC explained that successful aspirants would be officially informed through the party’s recognised communication channels before being issued Certificates of Return.

“Successful candidates would be formally notified through the party’s official channels, after which Certificates of Return would be issued in line with established procedures,” the notice stated.

The party further urged its members, stakeholders and the general public to rely solely on official APC communications for updates regarding the outcome of its primary elections.
