The National Secretariat of the All People’s Congress (APC) on July 6, 2026, officially published its list of candidates and republished the Register of Eligible Voters for the party's upcoming Constituency Elections. This significant step was undertaken as part of the party's preparations for the internal polls. These elections are scheduled to take place on Saturday, July 11, 2026, marking a key period for the party's grassroots representation. The party announced the republication of the voter register through a public notice issued on July 6, 2026, ensuring broad awareness among its members and stakeholders. The deadline for submitting any complaints or observations concerning the voters’ register is set for 12:00 noon on Wednesday, July 8, 2026. This timeframe allows for a brief but critical window for review and challenge. The public notice, which detailed these electoral arrangements, was signed by Lansana Dumbuya, Esq. The National Secretary-General of the APC, lending official weight to the announcement.
Candidate Submission Details
The All People’s Congress (APC) has specified that its published candidature list exclusively features the names of aspirants who submitted their nomination applications via the party’s online platform. This method streamlined the initial submission process for a segment of the candidates. For candidates who opted for manual submission, the party has outlined a separate, equally rigorous procedure. These aspirants are required to present their duly signed application forms directly to the Presiding Officers at their designated polling centres. This presentation must occur on the day of the election, prior to the commencement of voting, ensuring that all necessary documentation is verified on-site. The APC’s directive aims to ensure that all nominations are properly verified, regardless of the submission method used, facilitating a transparent electoral process for the Constituency Elections. This dual approach accommodates different submission preferences while maintaining strict adherence to verification protocols, thereby upholding the integrity of the candidate selection process.
Voter Register Objections
No complaints, objections, or requests for amendments related to the published voter register will be considered after the designated deadline of 12:00 noon on Wednesday, July 8, 2026. The All People’s Congress (APC) has stated that this strict adherence to the timeline is essential for maintaining the integrity of the electoral process ahead of the Constituency Elections. The party aims to ensure that all disputes regarding voter eligibility are resolved promptly and efficiently before the elections proceed on Saturday, July 11, 2026. This measure shows the APC's commitment to a clear and orderly electoral procedure, allowing ample time for verification and finalisation of the voter list. The party has emphasised that no complaints, objections, or requests for amendments relating to the register will be entertained after the stipulated deadline, reinforcing the importance of timely engagement from all concerned parties. This policy is designed to prevent last-minute disruptions and ensure a smooth electoral operation.
Party Communication
The All People’s Congress (APC) has formally notified the Political Parties Regulation Commission (PPRC) regarding its arrangements for the party’s forthcoming internal elections. This communication ensures that the regulatory body is apprised of the APC's electoral preparations, fulfilling a key aspect of compliance and transparency. The notification forms part of the ongoing procedural steps ahead of the Constituency Elections scheduled for Saturday, July 11, 2026. By informing the PPRC, the APC demonstrates its commitment to operating within established regulatory frameworks for internal party processes. The party's engagement with the PPRC shows its commitment to transparency and compliance with established electoral guidelines for internal party processes, which contributes significantly to the credibility of the election outcome. This interaction facilitates oversight by the regulatory body, further enhancing public trust in the internal democratic processes of the APC.
