The Action Peoples Party (APP) has constituted a four-man Electoral Committee to oversee its forthcoming congresses in Imo State, signalling intensified preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a letter of appointment dated Monday, April 20, 2026, and addressed to the Imo State Chairman, the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) announced the panel barely 48 hours before the congresses scheduled to run from Tuesday, April 22, through Sunday, April 26, 2026, at ward, local government and state levels.
The committee is mandated to conduct a credible, transparent and inclusive process that will produce new party executives across the state, aimed at strengthening the APP’s grassroots structures ahead of the polls.
Okenze Blyden Amajirionwu, a former member of the Imo State House of Assembly who represented Ngor Okpala Constituency, will serve as Chairman of the panel. Other members include Hon. Micheal Crown Njoku, Chief Nwaodu Ezenwa C., and Hon. Chinaka Ikechukwu C.
The appointment letter, signed by the National Chairman, Barr. Uchenna Nnadi, and National Secretary, Abu Ibrahim Bossan, directed the Imo State chapter to provide the committee with all necessary support and cooperation to ensure the smooth discharge of its responsibilities.
The development follows the party’s ongoing membership registration and mobilisation drive across the 305 wards in Imo State. It also comes after the dissolution of the previous state executive and the installation of an interim caretaker committee led by Hon. Ernest Njesi as Interim Chairman.
Party leaders expressed optimism that the congresses would consolidate the APP’s growing presence in the state and produce a united, people-oriented leadership capable of offering Ndi Imo a credible alternative platform in 2027.
Stakeholders have also welcomed the appointment of the electoral panel, describing it as a demonstration of the NWC’s commitment to internal democracy and a step towards repositioning the APP as a formidable political force in Imo State.
As the congresses commence this week, political observers are closely monitoring the process and its implications for the evolving political landscape ahead of the 2027 governorship and legislative elections.
The move further underscores the APP’s resolve to build strong structures at all levels, as it continues to position itself for electoral success in Imo State.
