The All Peoples Congress (APC) has officially announced its timeline for internal elections, a vital step in its preparations for the upcoming electoral race. This announcement is in accordance with the Political Parties Regulations Act, underscoring the party’s commitment to a transparent and well-organized electoral process.

Key dates have been established to guide activities leading up to the elections. On April 28, 2025, the APC will submit its election rules and regulations to the Political Parties Regulation Commission (PPRC), marking the formal beginning of the electoral process.

Subsequently, on July 19, 2025, the party will publish the voter and membership register for the ward elections, ensuring that all eligible voters are recognized and ready to participate.

The ward elections are set for August 10, 2025, enabling grassroots members to actively shape the future of the party. Shortly thereafter, on August 13, 2025, the APC will release the list of delegates for constituency conventions, which are scheduled for September 4, 2025. These conventions will also include diaspora chapters.

On September 30, 2025, district conventions will take place, similarly involving diaspora districts or branches. This inclusive approach aims to strengthen the party’s connection with its broader membership base.

As the electoral cycle continues, regional conventions will be held on October 24, 2025, incorporating participants from the diaspora’s sixth region. The timeline will culminate in the National Delegates Conference, scheduled for February 17-19, 2026, where significant decisions regarding the party’s direction and strategies for the national elections will be made.
