The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says political parties that fielded candidates whose names were not on their registers submitted to the commission will not be allowed to participate in the 2027 elections.
INEC National Commissioner for Information and Voter Education, Mohammed Haruna, disclosed this on Trust TV’s Daily Politics programme on Wednesday evening.
Mr Haruna was reacting to the Supreme Court judgment affirming the constitutionality of Sections 77(5), 77(6) and 77(7) of the Electoral Act 2026 and upholding INEC’s revised timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 general elections.
