ABUJA — The Allied People’s Movement (APM) says it has opened talks with serving senators, members of the House of Representatives and other political leaders across the country over possible defections ahead of the 2027 general elections, in what signals a fresh phase of political realignments as the countdown to the polls gathers pace.

With about six months to the general election, parties are stepping up efforts to attract influential lawmakers and political figures, as fresh alignments continue to reshape the political landscape ahead of the 2027 polls.

The announcement came as Senator Mohammed Ogoshi Onawo formally defected from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the APM during Senate plenary.

He was received at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja by the APM National Chairman, Yusuf Mamman Dantalle, and other party leaders.
