The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Edo State completed its ward congresses on February 18, 2026, across all 192 wards, successfully electing new leaders through a consensus method. State Chairman Jarret Tenebe, along with officials from the party's national secretariat, announced that the process was conducted peacefully, adhering to established guidelines. This event is seen as a significant milestone in the party’s development within the state.

During a briefing at the party secretariat in Benin City, Tenebe emphasized that the successful conduct of these congresses is crucial for fostering unity, transparency, and inclusivity among party members. He described the event not only as a routine exercise but also as a reaffirmation of the party's commitment to democratic principles and internal cohesion. This smooth process reflects well on the APC's organizational capacity and its dedication to collaborative governance.

The congresses serve as a platform for the party to strengthen its grassroots presence and realign its strategies ahead of future elections. With leaders now elected, the APC looks to harness this momentum for upcoming political engagements and to reinforce its role in Edo State's political landscape as it prepares for broader electoral challenges.
