Aspirants for senatorial, House of Representatives and House of Assembly seats tickets of the All Progressives Congress, APC in the bye-elections slated for 3 February 2024 by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC will pay N20m, N10m and N2m respectively for the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms.
This was contained in the APC timetable and schedule of activities for the bye-election released on Monday by the party.
In the statement signed by the party’s National Organising Secretary, Sulaimon Argungu, APC also indicated that it will begin sale of the sale of nominations, expression of interest and delegates forms for contestants into Senatorial, House of Representatives and State Assemblies seats on December 27, 2023.
The sale of the forms will end on January 2, 2024, while primary elections are slated for January 6, 2024.
However, the party said female aspirants and persons living with disabilities are to pay for Expression of Interest while the Nomination Form is free.
“Youths from 25 to 40 years are to purchase Expression of Interest forms with a 50% discount on Nomination Forms,” the APC stated.
INEC had fixed February 3, 2024, for the conduct of by-elections, resulting from the resignation or demise of members of the National and State Houses of Assembly.
The bye-elections will be conducted across two Senatorial Districts, four Federal Constituencies, and three State Constituencies in nine States of the country.
