**Osun 2026: APC Faces Gruelling Road to Victory Amid Low Membership Registration Figures** As the 2026 Osun State Governorship election draws near, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State is navigating a complex web of challenges that threaten to undermine its electoral prospects. The party's bold projection of one million votes for its gubernatorial candidate appears to be at odds with its current ranking as 33rd in membership registration, sparking concerns about its grassroots mobilization and electoral preparedness. According to the APC's registration figures, Osun State has a paltry 108,621 registered members, accounting for only 1% of the total registered members across the country. This meager representation raises questions about the party's ability to mobilize voters and win the election. In contrast, other states like Ekiti, which has a similar population, has a significantly higher number of registered members, with 92,917 registered members. The party's internal dynamics are also a major concern. The emergence of Asiwaju Bola Oyebamiji as the consensus candidate has not been without controversy. Former deputy governor Iyiola Omisore has been critical of the process, accusing party leaders of favoring Oyebamiji over other aspirants. While the party has attempted to resolve these issues through a partial reconciliatory meeting, the underlying tensions remain a significant challenge for the party. The APC's low membership registration figures also raise questions about its ability to deliver on its promises of electoral victory. Despite its bold projection of one million votes, the party's current strength on the ground suggests that it may struggle to achieve this goal. As the election draws near, it remains to be seen whether the APC can overcome its internal challenges and mobilize its members to deliver a victory for its candidate. The implications of the APC's struggles in Osun State are far-reaching, with potential consequences for the party's national prospects. A defeat in Osun State could be a significant blow to the party's morale and could undermine its chances in future elections. Conversely, a victory could provide a much-needed boost to the party's confidence and momentum. As the election approaches, one thing is clear: the APC has its work cut out for it in Osun State.
