Thirteen candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State have received their nomination forms from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), formally confirming their participation in the upcoming House of Representatives race.
Party sources say the development signals the conclusion of screening and documentation for most federal constituencies in the state, as the APC moves to consolidate its lineup ahead of the elections.
However, uncertainty remains over the Ido/Ibarapa federal constituency, where the party is yet to finalise its decision on a candidate. The delay has reportedly sparked quiet discussions within party ranks as stakeholders await a definitive resolution.
According to party insiders, the distribution of nomination forms marks a key procedural step required by INEC for all political parties ahead of the submission deadline for the .2027 general elections.
While 13 candidates have now been cleared to proceed, attention is shifting to the unresolved constituency, which is expected to be decided in the coming days as the party completes its internal arrangements.
The APC is expected to intensify consultations and conclude all outstanding issues as political activities gather momentum across Oyo State ahead of the polls.
