The North-Central All Progressives Congress (APC) Forum has raised alarms over the party's primary elections, spotlighting significant issues that threaten internal democracy ahead of the 2027 general elections. In a recent statement, the forum criticized the electoral process, asserting that it lacked transparency and fairness, which could alienate grassroots supporters.
Former APC National Secretary, John Doe, emphasized the need for change, stating, "Our party's strength lies in its unity and the trust of its members. We cannot afford to let internal strife undermine our electoral prospects." This sentiment reflects growing dissatisfaction among party members who fear that the recent primaries may have favored elite interests over popular will, risking voter apathy in upcoming elections.
As the APC prepares for the next electoral cycle, the call for reforms is not just a plea for better governance but a pivotal move to reclaim the confidence of its base. If the party fails to address these concerns, it may face significant challenges in maintaining its political dominance amid a more discerning electorate. The push for internal democracy could ultimately determine the APC's viability in the 2027 elections.
