The Accord Party has announced its nomination fees for elective offices ahead of the 2027 general elections, warning that its electoral window will close on April 25.
The Lagos State Chairman of the party, Mr Dele Oladeji, revealed this in a statement in Lagos issued after the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held in Abuja on Wednesday.
Oladeji said the NEC meeting was the final session to determine key pre-election activities, including nomination fees, primary election dates and mode of primaries.
“The NEC meeting serves as the concluding meeting for the fixing of nomination fees, primary date and the primary mode ahead of the 2027 general elections,” Oladeji said.
According to him, the approved nomination and expression of interest fees for governorship aspirants under the Accord platform are N10 million and N5 million respectively.
For the Senate aspirants, Oladeji said the nomination fee was N5 million while the expression of interest fees remained N2.5 million.
For the House of Representatives, he said that the nomination and expression of interest fees are N3.5 million and N1.5 million respectively.
Oladeji explained that aspirants for the state House of Assembly seats will pay N1 million and N500,000 for nomination and expression of interest fees respectively.
“We are also warning of the closure to the electoral window on April 25. Membership registration ends on April 26, same as the purchase of nomination forms,” he said.
Oladeji called on Lagos residents seeking change in governance to align with the party.
“Accord is the party to vote for. If you desire a change in governance, then you need to change the party that will govern Lagos State from 2027.
“Accord is making a clarion call for patriotic change agents to join the party, contest and win, so as to be involved in the governance of Lagos State,” Oladeji said.
The chairman also pledged reforms in key state agencies and policies.
“Accord is leading the charge for a cleanup of bad political leadership and governance.
“We will elect patriotic leaders who will reform the state to bring human face to governance and policies,” he said.
Oladeji added that the party’s primary elections would commence on May 21.
