Salihu Yakub Danladi (SYD) has officially joined the list of governorship candidates uploaded on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Candidate Nomination Portal (ICNP) as the All Progressives Congress (APC) Governorship Candidate for Kwara State ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
Kwara News Update gathered that the APC has commenced the nationwide digital upload of its governorship and State House of Assembly candidates to the INEC portal in line with the electoral timetable.

Hon. Engr. Salihu Yakub Danladi (Kwara State).
The upload of Rt. Hon. Engr. Salihu Yakub Danladi’s name on the INEC Candidate Nomination Portal confirms his candidature as the APC flag bearer for the 2027 Kwara State Governorship Election.
The development comes as the APC intensifies preparations for the 2027 General Elections, with the party’s Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Department at its National Headquarters in Abuja reportedly commencing the upload process to meet INEC’s statutory deadline.
