FCT Labour Party Leaders Join APC Ahead of 2026 Elections

Leaders and members of the Labour Party in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in preparation for the February 2026 area council elections. Reasons for defection include dissatisfaction with the state and national leadership of the Labour Party, with members like Christoph Maikalangu and Adamu Yunusa defecting to the APC.

The defection is seen as a move towards progress and development, with former LP members expressing disappointment in their party's performance. The defection is expected to strengthen the APC's grassroots structure in Gwarinpa ward.
