The main opposition All People’s Congress (APC) says it intends to elect both its national executive members and presidential flagbearer before the end of 2026, as it intensifies preparations for the 2028 general elections.

Speaking to newsmen, APC Publicity Secretariat member Minkailu P. Koroma said the party is determined to complete its internal leadership processes well ahead of the next electoral cycle to strengthen its structures and enhance readiness.

“2026 will not go by without us having our national executive members,” Koroma said, adding that the party also plans to elect its presidential flagbearer within the same period.

“The next set of general elections, we should have elected our flagbearer that will be our candidate in the next elections,” he stated.

Koroma emphasised the importance of party unity, urging members to place the interests of the APC above individual ambitions.

“Everybody has interest, but the loyal thing is to the party,” he said. “Whosoever emerges as flagbearer, that is the interest of the party.”

According to Koroma, the leadership selection process will be a crucial step in positioning the APC for the 2028 elections. The party is expected to intensify internal consultations and organisational activities across the country as attention shifts toward its leadership selection process.
