The convention which comes a few months to the 2027 general elections is the fourth national convention organised by the APC since its inception in 2013, following the merger of some opposition political parties. The previous conventions were held in 2014, 2018 and 2022.
The parties that formed the APC through a coalition in 2013 were the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), a breakaway of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) referred to as N-PDP, and a section of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).
