No fewer than 8,433 delegates are expected to converge on Abuja for the 2026 national convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC), scheduled to take place at Eagle Square.

The event will bring together top party figures, including Bola Tinubu, 31 state governors, and members of the federal cabinet, as the party prepares to strengthen its internal structure ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, disclosed details of the convention during a media briefing in Abuja, highlighting the party’s readiness and the importance of coordinated communication. He urged members of the media and publicity committee to work in unity to ensure a successful outing.

According to him, the convention represents a key moment for the ruling party to reinforce its democratic principles and organisational discipline. He stressed that party members must reflect the leadership style and values of the president while maintaining cohesion.

The APC has already indicated that it will adopt a consensus method in selecting its national leadership during the convention. Party officials noted that while this approach will guide leadership selection at the national level, decisions on candidate selection during primaries may vary depending on local political realities.

The convention is expected to produce a new set of national executives who will oversee party affairs and organise primaries for key elections, including the presidential, governorship, and legislative races in 2027.
