The All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election process experienced delays in parts of Bayelsa State on Saturday, as party members waited for officials to arrive at designated venues before the commencement of accreditation and voting.
At Ward 5 in Opolo, Yenagoa Local Government Area, party faithful were seen gathering at the venue of the exercise, while officials expected to coordinate the process had yet to arrive as of the time this report was filed.
Similar situations were reported in other monitored centres across the state, where party members waited in anticipation for the commencement of the primaries.
The delayed start created uncertainty among participants, many of whom remained stranded at the venues awaiting further directives from party officials.
The APC primaries are part of the party’s preparations for the 2027 general elections, with aspirants seeking tickets for various elective positions.
Despite the slow start, party members continued arriving at the centres, expressing hope that the process would commence later in the day.
