The All Progressives Congress (APC) is making significant adjustments to its membership registration and congress schedule.
The APC has extended its electronic membership registration to February 8, 2026, moving the deadline from January 31. This decision came after stakeholder requests for more time to register. Additionally, ward congresses are now set for February 18, with the national convention rescheduled for March 27 and 28.
APC Extends Membership Registration Deadline
The APC’s national publicity secretary, Felix Morka, announced the extension during the party’s 183rd national working committee meeting in Abuja. This move aims to accommodate more supporters and members who wish to register and validate their membership.
Stakeholders expressed the need for additional time, prompting the party to revise its timeline. The extension reflects the APC’s commitment to inclusivity and engagement with its base.
