The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced that it would re-open its membership electronic registration portal across the country on Monday, August 31, urging old and new party members to register ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The ruling party, in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, explained that while existing members are expected to validate their membership, new and intending members are encouraged to register and join the progressive family.

Enumerating the requirements, the party’s spokesperson noted that the registrants must be 18 years or older and possess a valid National Identification Number (NIN).

He further explained that the e-registration exercise is designed to digitise the party’s membership register to ensure the integrity of membership records and enhance efficient access to membership data for future planning.
