The party announced the adjustment in a statement issued on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, stating that all other scheduled primaries will proceed as earlier announced.

Under the revised timetable, the Senate primary election will still take place on May 18, while the State House of Assembly primary is fixed for May 20.
