INEC Receives 12 More Applications For Party Registration
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has confirmed receipt of 12 additional applications from associations seeking registration as political parties, bringing the total to 122.
This follows an earlier announcement on June 23 that the commission had received 110 applications. INEC stated that the registration process remains open, transparent, and fair.
In a statement issued on Thursday by the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun, he said, “On Monday last week (23rd June 2025), the Commission announced that it had received applications from 110 associations seeking registration as political parties. We also assured Nigerians that we will be giving regular updates on the matter. The Commission is processing these applications transparently and in fairness to all applicants.
“Meanwhile, the Commission has since received 12 more applications for registration as political parties as of yesterday, Wednesday 2nd July 2025, bringing the total number of applications to 122.
“The list of the new applications by names of associations, their acronyms, addresses, and interim Chairmen and Secretaries has been uploaded to our website and other platforms for public information. We will respond to these applicants in line with the Electoral Act and Regulations and Guidelines for Political Parties 2022.”
INEC also disclosed that some of the associations have undergone internal changes, including the replacement of an interim Secretary who defected to another association.
“To facilitate the consideration of these applications, the commission appeals to associations to maintain consistency of their proposed leadership and addresses so that they do not, by their own actions, cause a delay to the timely consideration of their applications,” the statement added.
