Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) has announced the commencement of its continuous electronic membership registration exercise nationwide beginning from March 1.

Dr Ejimofor Opara, National Publicity Secretary of the party, made the disclosure during a news conference in Awka yesterday.

Opara said the exercise would take place simultaneously across the 8,809 electoral wards in the country.

He said the initiative underscored APGA’s commitment to innovation, transparency and inclusivity in party administration.

Opara recalled that in June 2024, APGA became the first political party in Nigeria to automate its membership registration process.

He described the move as a pioneering step aimed at enhancing efficiency and broadening participation.

According to him, the electronic registration exercise, which earlier commenced, will officially re-open on March 1, and is open to all interested Nigerians.

“Prospective members are required to present a valid voter’s card and two passport photographs to complete the process.

“The registration can be done online via the party’s official website at www.officialapga.ng.

“It can also be done through WhatsApp on 07055363333 or at ward centres where registration forms could be obtained.

“The party would issue new members a temporary membership slip after registration, pending their permanent membership cards,” he said.

The spokesman clarified that existing members who had already registered electronically do not need to re-register.

He, however, advised members who had yet to upload their passport photographs to update their records through the party’s website or designated WhatsApp platform.

Opara urged eligible Nigerians to take advantage of the ongoing exercise to join the party and contribute to national development.

He disclosed that the party was on the verge of reaching the one million membership mark.

“The current drive was aimed at increasing the figure to two million.

“We invite all eligible Nigerians to seize this opportunity to join the APGA family and contribute to shaping the future of our great nation.

” Together, we move forward,” he said

Answering questions from reporters, Opara said that APGA party cannot be classified as a regional party as the party has won elections across states in the south-south and the North while its officials reflected national spread even as the party gears up for consolidation across Nigeria in the 2027 elections while maintaining its progressive ideologies.
