The All Progressives Congress (APC) has written to Nigeria’s electoral commission, INEC, calling for parties that fail to submit political parties’ membership registers to be barred from fielding candidates in the 2027 elections. APC argues this approach follows a Supreme Court ruling on the submission and use of membership registers.
APC’s request focuses on enforcement of the court judgment relating to how membership registers are handled for party activities such as primaries and party congresses or conventions. The outlet reporting says APC wants INEC to take action against non-compliant parties rather than allow them to proceed to elections.
While both sources describe the APC making the same core demand—immediate enforcement of the Supreme Court decision—coverage differs slightly in emphasis. One outlet frames the request as a condition tied specifically to participation in the 2027 election, while the other highlights the broader need for INEC to enforce the judgment governing party membership registers used during internal party processes.
