The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the postponement of the planned inauguration of its National Campaign Council for the upcoming Anambra State governorship election.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, disclosed the development in a statement shared via the APC’s official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Thursday.
Originally scheduled for Thursday, September 11, 2025, at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, the event has been deferred to a later date, which will be communicated in due course.
“The party deeply regrets any inconvenience this change may cause and assures all stakeholders of its unwavering commitment to ensuring a successful outing in the November 8, 2025, Anambra State governorship election,” the statement read.
The postponement comes as major political parties gear up for what is expected to be a tightly contested election in Anambra.
The APC, All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Labour Party (LP) are all vying for control of the strategic South-East state.
Historically, Anambra has posed significant challenges for the APC, with the state being a stronghold of APGA since 2006.
In the 2021 governorship race, APC candidate Senator Andy Uba finished third behind Charles Soludo (APGA) and Valentine Ozigbo (PDP).
Despite the party’s limited success in the region, the APC continues efforts to expand its influence, including by strengthening alliances with local political actors and leveraging its control of the federal government.
The November 8 election is widely viewed as a litmus test for the APC’s standing in the South-East, a region where it has historically struggled for widespread support.
