All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State Begins E‑Registration Ahead of 2027 Elections

Reported By Sele Media Africa|Ihuoma Amarachi

ABEOKUTA —The state chapter of the APC in Ogun has formally launched an electronic membership‑registration (e‑registration) drive as part of its preparations for the 2027 general elections. Party leaders describe the initiative as foundational to future electoral success. [1]

What the E‑Registration Involves –

The e‑registration drive, coordinated by the party’s national leadership, targets registration of all existing and new members via a digital platform — replacing older manual registers. [2] – The party aims to create a credible, verifiable database that ensures accurate membership records, improves internal communication, and strengthens organisational structure ahead of primaries and elections. [2] – On social media, the Ogun State APC chapter announced the launch and encouraged ward, local government and state executives to meet registration targets. [1]

Party Leadership’s View

The Ogun APC Chairman, Yemi Sanusi, said the e‑registration is the “bedrock” of the party’s future successes, arguing that an updated membership list will boost transparency, help discourage multiple or fake registrations, and ensure only legitimate members participate in primaries and internal elections. (Party statement via the Ogun APC page) [1] According to the Party’s national Organising Secretary, the digital registration also aims to prepare the party for increased organisational demands ahead of the 2027 polls. [2]

Why It Matters –

A well‑maintained digital membership database could reduce internal disputes over who is a bona fide member — a common source of pre‑election litigation and factionalism. – It reflects a broader push by national APC leadership to modernize party administration and harness technology for organisational efficiency. [2] – For Ogun State APC, this can help consolidate grassroots structures and better mobilise supporters for future elections.

What to Watch –

Whether all local government and ward chapters meet the e‑registration deadline set by the party’s national body. – If the updated register will be used for upcoming primaries — and whether it affects candidate eligibility.- How rival parties respond — and whether they adopt similar digital registration efforts ahead of 2027.
