In a strategic political move ahead of the 2025/2026 Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) Chairmanship election, Dr. Kingsley Kelachukwu Okoronkwo has resigned from the Labour Party (LP) and officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).
This development was announced in a press release signed by Okoronkwo and distributed to newsmen in Abuja on Monday.
In his letter, Dr. Okoronkwo expressed his intention to contest for the AMAC Chairmanship in the upcoming Federal Capital Territory (FCT) elections.
He cited the ongoing crisis and legal challenges within the Labour Party as the primary reasons for his switch to the APC.
“As a committed and dedicated individual, I have a comprehensive plan to improve the lives of the citizens of AMAC,” Okoronkwo stated. “I am confident that with your support, I will emerge victorious and provide the necessary leadership to drive positive change in our community.”
He urged his supporters to join him in the APC, emphasizing the party’s potential to achieve their collective goals. “Together, we can work towards the betterment of AMAC and the FCT at large,” he added.
Dr. Okoronkwo also pledged to conduct a grassroots campaign that engages with the community and addresses their concerns, expressing faith that “with God on our side, victory shall be ours.”
Prior to his declaration for the APC, Okoronkwo was a leading Chairmanship aspirant for the Labour Party in the FCT. In November 2024, he was nominated and inaugurated as Chairman of the FCT Obidient Harmonization Forum, a position he has now relinquished.
