In a bid to
ensure unity and minimize conflicts within its ranks, the All Progressives
Congress (APC) in Kwara State has reportedly opted for a consensus approach in
selecting candidates for the upcoming 2024 local government elections.
Ensurednews gathered the decision was announced
by the Kwara APC Chairman, Prince Sunday Fagbemi, during a stakeholders'
meeting held at the State Party Secretariat in Ilorin on Tuesday.
Addressing party members and stakeholders,
Fagbemi emphasized the party's commitment to using the consensus method as the
primary mode for candidate selection.
According to 9japarrot, Fagbemi highlighted that
the consensus approach aims to prevent internal conflicts while maintaining the
party's unity ahead of the elections.
He further underscored the importance of zoning
arrangements within local governments, noting that these arrangements would
guide the selection process of candidates across the state.
This strategic zoning, according to Fagbemi,
aims to ensure fair representation and equitable distribution of opportunities
within the party structure.
The stakeholders' meeting drew attendance from
various party leaders, including elders, executive members representing the 16
local government areas, as well as delegates from the 193 Ward APC.
Also present were former chairmen and current members of the Kwara State House of Assembly, all gathering to deliberate on the forthcoming local government elections and the party's strategy for a successful outing.
