The African Democratic Congress (ADC) begins and then postpones parts of its screening exercise for candidates ahead of upcoming elections. Premium Times reports that ADC starts screening of governorship aspirants, with the party saying more than 80 aspirants take part across the country. However, other outlets report that the party later shifts the timeline for presidential and governorship screenings. Punch says ADC postpones the screening for both presidential and governorship aspirants to Monday, May 18, 2026, after it had initially scheduled screenings for May 14 and May 15, according to Premium Times. Vanguard adds that the party also adjusts screening arrangements for National Assembly aspirants due to the security situation in parts of northern Nigeria. It says screening for National Assembly candidates will now hold in Abuja. Across the reports, ADC’s announcements indicate that the exercise is ongoing but changes to dates and locations are implemented to address constraints affecting where and when different categories of aspirants are screened.
