In an update published by Punch, the Lagos State chapter of the APC announced it will begin electronic registration and revalidation of members in early January 2026 as part of its organisational tightening ahead of upcoming political cycles.
Party officials say the exercise will run across all wards to capture both existing members and new entrants, with the aim of creating a cleaner, more credible membership database.
The Lagos chapter also framed the move as a governance-and-election readiness step—strengthening internal mobilisation, membership auditing, and on-ground structures.
With Lagos often serving as a national political barometer, the process could influence how other states roll out digital membership systems and internal party reforms.
Nigerian Tribune separately reported the plan, stating the party would commence e-registration “beginning January 5, 2026,” while an APC Southwest training update said it “launched its Southwest e-registration train the trainers program.”
Echotitbits take:
This is less about tech and more about power: whoever controls verified membership often controls primaries and delegate structures. Watch whether the process becomes transparent (audit trails, appeals, independent verification) or turns into factional contest.
