TheAfrican People's Convention (APC) is a South African political party formed byThemba Godi, former deputy leader of thePan-Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC) viafloor-crossing legislation, on 4 September 2007. Godi defected along with the PAC's only two provincial representatives,Eastern Cape MPL Zingisa Mkabile andGauteng MPL Malesela Ledwaba.^[1] Godi is the current leader of the APC. The party retained its seat in theNational Assembly in the2009 elections, although it lost both of its representatives in the provincial legislatures of Gauteng and Eastern Cape.

It retained its seat in the2014 election, but lost it in the2019 election.

Like the PAC, the party's ideology officially appeals to "Africanists, Pan Africanists and socialists".
