The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has confirmed that eight political associations have successfully completed the initial documentation phase of party registration.
According to National Commissioner Sam Olumekun, the commission reviewed applications from 14 pre-qualified groups, out of which eight met the full documentation threshold via INEC’s online portal between September 18 and October 18.
The successful associations include the All Democratic Alliance, Citizens Democratic Alliance, Abundance Social Party, African Alliance Party, Democratic Leadership Alliance, Green Future Party, National Democratic Party, and Peoples Freedom Party.
“The next step in the registration process is detailed assessment and verification of compliance with constitutional and electoral provisions,” Olumekun stated.
He reaffirmed the commission’s “commitment to inclusivity, transparency, and the deepening of Nigeria’s democratic culture.”
