The All Progressives Congress, APC, n Anambra State, has kick started its e-registration drive for both old and new members. The excersize which will take place simultaneously in the 21 Councils of the state, is aimed at boosting the membership base of the party ahead of the 2027 general election.

In a well attended Stakeholders meeting held in Awka on Saturday, the party noted that the registration project is aimed at attracting no fewer than 400,000 new members into the party. According to the Director General of the South East Governors' Forum, Senator Uche Ekwunife, the exercise will help boost the membership strength and withstand any electoral tide in all future elections. The ambitious number, she added, would ensure the party becomes politically inviolable.

Ekwunife, who convened Stakeholders meeting, charged the 326 ward Chairmen and their executive members to mobilize and adequately sensitize members so as to ganner enough support for all the candidates of the party in the coming 2027 election. The exercise, Ekwunife explained, is to enable the party to empower it's committed and ascertained members.

"We are looking at each ward registering at least 1,000 New members of the party and if we can do that and through the electoral wards we shall be looking at over 336,000 new members into our party.

"The party wants to empower their members through this e registration and it is important for the party to know the number of their members who are committed members of the party "

"APC members are desirous of winning election for their party and we cannot do without the ward Chairmen because they ate the custodians of the party down the ladder at the ward level" she said.

The State Chairman of the party, Chief Basil Ejidike pointed out that politics remains a game of numbers adding that without the numbers a party cannot win any election. Referring to the Nov 8,2025 off-season governorship election in the state, Ejidike said,

"We went into the election with almost nothing. That was what cost us the Gubernatorial poll victory. "If we scored above 100,000 votes during the last election, we would do far better in subsequent elections especially the Presidential election that is coming up next year.

"We shall do all we can to ensure that everybody is registered in Anambra state to give us leverage in the National and State Assembly electors as well as the Presidential election" he said.

Chairman of Anambra South zonal chapter of the party, Mr Izuchukwu Okeke, who spoke on behalf of other zonal chairmen announced that all the ward chairmen and their executives have already been sensitized and mobilized ahead of the e-registration, adding that they would over shoot the targeted number of new members.

Prizes were presented to the three best local government areas with N500,000.00 for first position N300,000.00 for second position and N150,000.00 for the third position respectively.

A breakdown of the performance of the local government areas showed that Njikoka had the highest number of registered voters followed by Awka South and then Onitsha South.
