The unveiling of the timetable for lower-level elections within the All People’s Congress (APC) commencing on 27th January, 2026 has effectively signaled the start of intense political maneuvering ahead of the party’s next flag bearer contest. Party insiders believe the process marks a critical stage in rebuilding structures and consolidating support across the country.

With grassroots elections now in view, aspirants and their supporters are already working quietly to strengthen their bases at sectional, zonal, constituency, district, and regional levels—structures that are crucial in determining the final outcome of the flag bearer race.

The APC leadership, headed by Acting National Chairman Alhaji Osman Foday Yansaneh continues to push a reconciliation and reorganisation agenda aimed at healing past divisions and restoring confidence among members.

Political observers note that as the lower-level elections approach, the internal contest will intensify, setting the stage for a decisive and highly competitive battle for the APC’s flag bearer position.
