The All Progressives Congress, APC, has reaffirmed that its existing zoning arrangement for National Working Committee, NWC, positions will remain in force ahead of the party’s 2026 National Convention.

In a statement issued on Monday in Abuja, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said the decision is intended to guide aspirants and ensure stability within the party as it prepares for key internal elections.

According to the statement, the zoning formula outlined in the published 2026 Schedule of Nationwide Congresses, National Convention and Related Activities remains valid and will be strictly applied during the convention process.

“The existing zoning arrangement for National Working Committee positions across states within the geo-political zones remains valid and applicable to the upcoming National Convention,” the statement said.

The party also advised aspirants seeking national offices to strictly comply with the zoning framework when obtaining and submitting their Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms.

“Accordingly, aspirants are advised to be STRICTLY GUIDED by the existing zoning arrangement,” Morka added.

The APC noted that maintaining the zoning structure would help ensure fairness, balance and orderliness in the conduct of the party’s internal processes ahead of the convention.
