The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) urges Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish political donation limits ahead of the 2027 elections. In its request, SERAP asks INEC to state whether it has exercised its statutory power under section 91 of the Electoral Act, 2026, and, if so, to disclose and widely publish the applicable contribution limits.
SERAP links the demand to transparency and fair political competition. Both outlets report SERAP’s focus on INEC’s action regarding prescribed limits on political contributions. Vanguard adds that SERAP also calls for disclosure related to party finances, while The Punch centers more specifically on the publication of donation limits for the 2027 electoral cycle.
Overall, the reporting shows SERAP pressing INEC for timely disclosure and clear publication of any established limits, citing the Electoral Act, 2026. The outlets do not report INEC’s response in the provided excerpts.
