The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) is suing Nigeria’s electoral commission, INEC, at the Federal High Court in Abuja over alleged failure to disclose limits on political donations ahead of the 2027 general elections. SERAP argues that INEC has not made public whether it has set contribution limits under the Electoral Act 2026 and is seeking court orders compelling disclosure.
According to multiple reports, SERAP also challenges the transparency of party finances, framing the case around the need for clearer information on political funding. Vanguard and Premium Times describe the suit as focused on INEC’s non-disclosure of limits under section 91 of the Electoral Act 2026, including why limits were or were not applied. The Punch similarly reports the filing and the core allegation regarding donation limits, while Daily Post Nigeria emphasizes the demand for INEC to state whether limits exist and what they are.
