INEC publishes 2027 senatorial candidate list: 1,195 hopefuls across 109 districts

INEC has released the final list of candidates nominated by political parties for the 2027 senatorial elections, covering all 109 senatorial districts in Nigeria. Published on September 13, 2026, the list includes 1,195 hopefuls from parties such as the APC, ADC, NDC, PDP, and the Labour Party (LP).

This release gives voters the first concrete look at who will appear on the ballot next year, allowing them to assess party strengths, note districts where certain parties have fielded no candidate (for example, several Bauchi districts show no NDC nominee), and begin evaluating contenders in their locality.

To make use of this intelligence, check your senatorial district’s entries in the full list (available via INEC’s website or reputable news outlets), note the party affiliations of candidates, and start engaging with their platforms or attending local outreach events. The list will inform voter education efforts and help you plan your participation in the 2027 senatorial polls.
