APGA Wants Indirect Primaries Back, Citing Logistics Challenges
APGA's National Chairman, Sylvester Ezeokenwa, advocates for indirect primaries in Nigerian politics, arguing they're logistically simpler than direct primaries required by the 2026 Electoral Act. The Act mandates parties use direct primaries or consensus candidacy, but Ezeokenwa contends indirect methods reduce organizational burdens. This proposal comes as parties navigate new electoral rules, with APGA suggesting indirect primaries could streamline candidate selection while maintaining democratic integrity.
