The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Sokoto State has launched the electronic registration of its members as part of strategic preparations for the party’s 2026 primaries and the 2027 general elections.
The decision was reached at a meeting of the Sokoto State APC Executive Council held on Thursday, at the party Secretariat, where the leadership approved the statewide rollout of the exercise in line with the party’s national reform agenda.
The State APC Chairman, Isa Sadiq Achida, who presided over the meeting, said party executives have been trained on the e-registration process, while computer experts and enumerators have been deployed to ensure a transparent and hitch free exercise across the state.
According to Achida, the initiative will provide the party with a credible and verifiable database of its members, strengthen internal democracy and enhance planning before and after the primaries and general elections.
