The All Progressives Congress has adopted a consensus approach for its ward and local government congresses scheduled for February 18, 2026.
Deputy National Organising Secretary of the party, Chidi Duru, disclosed this at a stakeholders’ meeting of Anambra State APC members in Abuja. He said the decision, already approved by the National Working Committee, is aimed at reducing internal disputes and easing tensions ahead of the 2027 general elections.
As preparations for 2027 gather pace, the Anambra State chapter of the party is repositioning despite setbacks from the last off-cycle governorship election. Members at the meeting strategised on upcoming congresses, though some expressed reservations about the consensus model.
Party leaders maintained that the approach would promote stability amid growing internal challenges facing major political parties. Concerns were also raised over the absence of Anambra APC members in the Federal Executive Council, a development criticised by the former Minister of Women Affairs and the state chairman.
Despite the grievances, the Anambra State chapter passed a vote of confidence in President Bola Tinubu.
