APC Begins Membership Registration Ahead of 2027 Elections

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the reopening of its electronic membership registration exercise nationwide ahead of the 2027 general election.

The exercise will resume on Monday, August 31, according to a statement issued on Tuesday by Felix Morka, APC national publicity secretary.

The party urged its stakeholders, supporters and members, including new and intending members, to participate in the exercise, which will be conducted across wards nationwide.

“We invite all Party stakeholders, supporters and members, old and new, to participate in the APC Membership Electronic-Registration Exercise,” the statement reads.

“The exercise will be conducted in all wards nationwide. Existing members are expected to validate their membership, while new and intending members are encouraged to register and join the progressive family.”

The party stated that registrants must be at least 18 years old and possess a valid National Identification Number (NIN).

The party said the exercise is designed to digitise its membership register and improve the integrity and accessibility of membership data.

According to the APC, the digital register will provide more efficient access to membership information for planning and management decisions, while promoting internal democracy and strengthening its adoption of technology in party administration.

The latest exercise follows the APC’s nationwide electronic membership registration and revalidation exercise earlier in 2026.

In January, the party commenced the exercise and subsequently extended the registration deadline from January 31 to February 8 following requests from stakeholders for more time to register and validate their membership.

Ajibola Basiru, APC national secretary, had said in January that the party expected its digitally verified membership to rise to between eight million and nine million within two weeks of the exercise.

Nentawe Yilwatda, APC national chairman, also said in March that the technology-based membership system had strengthened the party’s organisation and mobilisation by providing accurate and verifiable data on members.
