Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it has received applications from at least 110 associations seeking registration as political parties.
INEC Chairperson, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, made the disclosure during a press conference at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday.
He stated that all requests are currently being reviewed in accordance with INEC’s guidelines and electoral laws.
This announcement comes just days after the opposition coalition, All Democratic Alliance (ADA), led by prominent figures including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, formally submitted its application.
