Turning electoral gains into meaningful representation

“The 2026 midterm elections have demonstrated what is possible when communities recognize the power of their collective voices and actively participate in the democratic process. NAPAC-USA is proud of the work we have done to educate, organize, and mobilize African immigrant voters, and we celebrate the growing number of Nigerian Americans elected to public office,” said Prince Maduka Nkuku, National President of NAPAC-USA.

“But winning elections is only the beginning. We must now work even harder to consolidate the gains of these midterms and translate electoral success into meaningful political representation, responsive public policies, and lasting protections for our community.”
