The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has extended the deadline for the purchase of its expression of interest and nomination forms for the 2027 general elections. The new closing date for form sales is 7 May, three days after the original 4 May deadline. The party's National Publicity Secretary, Jungudo Mohammed, announced the extension in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja. He confirmed that the final date for submission of completed forms remains 9 May. Interested aspirants are advised to take note of the revised timeline. The PDP released its election timetable on 22 April through its National Organising Secretary, Umar Bature. The cost of the presidential nomination form is set at N51 million. Governorship aspirants must pay N31 million, while Senate and House of Representatives forms are priced at N7 million and N4 million respectively. House of Assembly forms cost N3 million. Female aspirants are required to pay only for the expression of interest form, fixed at N1 million across all positions.
The PDP extends form sales while maintaining a rigid nine-day window for submissions, creating a squeeze for late applicants. Aspirants who wait until the new 7 May deadline now have just two days to submit. The party charges N51 million for presidential forms, a barrier that shapes who can realistically run. Female aspirants pay only N1 million, yet still face the same tight submission deadline.
