The All People’s Congress (APC) has officially released its Internal Elections Timeline ahead of the party’s forthcoming lower-level conventions and elections, following the successful re-publication of its election rules by the Political Parties Regulation Commission (PPRC).

In a public notice issued by the APC National Secretariat, the party said the revised schedule aligns with the provisions of its enabling Act of Parliament and is intended to guide the conduct of internal democratic processes at all levels nationwide.

According to the document dated 15 January 2026, the internal elections process will begin with the publication of the voter and membership register for ward elections on 16 January 2026, followed by ward elections scheduled for 7 February 2026.

The party will publish the delegates’ list for constituency conventions on 8 February 2026, with constituency conventions—including Diaspora chapters—set for 1 March 2026. Delegates’ lists for district conventions will be released on 2 March 2026, ahead of district conventions scheduled for 24 March 2026, including Diaspora districts and branches.
