INEC urges Nigerians to register as CVR closes today

INEC has ruled out any further extension of the nationwide CVR, insisting that voter registration will end today, Sunday 26 July 2026, after a two‑week grace period added earlier this month. The exercise, which began in August 2025 and resumed for its final phase in May, is the last opportunity for new voters to join the register ahead of the 2027 general elections. In a statement and posts on its official X and Facebook pages, the commission urged citizens who are 18 and above, and others who missed earlier phases, to take advantage of the final hours. Registration centres and INEC offices nationwide are scheduled to operate from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., including weekends. INEC also highlighted the availability of its online Self‑Service CVR portal, cvr.inecnigeria.org, which allows first‑time voters to complete their registration digitally before visiting a centre […]

Relief for ADC, AP as Appeal Court stops deregistration order

Several opposition political parties, including the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and Accord Party (AP), have secured temporary relief after the Court of Appeal halted the enforcement of a Federal High Court judgment ordering their deregistration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Earlier in the week, Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja had ordered INEC to deregister ADC, Accord, Action Alliance (AA), Action Peoples Party (APP) and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) for failing to meet the constitutional thresholds required to remain on the register of political parties. The trial court held that the parties breached Section 225A of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), which empowers INEC to deregister political parties that fail to win any elective seat or secure at least 25 per cent of the votes in relevant elections at federal, state or local government […]

Court orders INEC to deregister ADC, Accord, AA, APP, and ZLP

The Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister five political parties: the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Action Peoples Party (APP), Action Alliance (AA), Accord Party (AP), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP). Justice Peter Lifu delivered the judgement on Monday, ruling that the parties persistently failed to meet the electoral performance thresholds set in Section 225A of the 1999 Constitution (as amended). The suit was filed by the National Forum of Former Legislators at the Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking to compel INEC to deregister parties that do not comply with constitutional requirements under the Electoral Act 2022 and INEC regulations. Among its reliefs, the plaintiff asked the court to declare that INEC has a constitutional duty to deregister parties failing to meet electoral thresholds. The forum also urged the court to […]

Bullets before ballots: insecurity threatens 2027 polls; 5,272 killed in 5 months

Seven months to the 2027 general elections, worsening insecurity across Nigeria is casting a shadow over preparations for what should be a watershed democratic exercise, with a staggering 5,272 people killed in just five months amid a resurgence of terrorist attacks and banditry. Before the commencement of campaigns for the 2027 general elections, rising insecurity across parts of Nigeria has become a major source of national concern, undermining public confidence in the electoral process. The country's security situation has continued to deteriorate with increasing attacks on civilians, schools, and military formations, raising serious questions about whether the elections will hold as scheduled. Data from the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) 2025 showed that Nigeria recorded 171 terror attacks in 2025, representing a 43 per cent increase from the 120 attacks recorded in 2024. Terror-related deaths also rose from 513 in 2024 […]

Tinubu Appeals to APC Leaders: “Be Fair, Stay Calm, Prioritise Unity”

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has made a direct appeal to leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to be fair and just, rise above sentiment, and ensure a level playing field for all aspirants as the party’s nationwide primaries kick off ahead of the 2027 general elections. Speaking in an official statement on the commencement of APC primaries, the President and party leader urged governors, party officials, delegates and aspirants to uphold peace, fairness and discipline throughout the election process. He specifically directed governors and party leaders to give all candidates equal opportunity without let or hindrance, a move widely seen as an attempt to curb accusations of candidate imposition and manipulation. Tinubu encouraged consensus arrangements where possible, arguing that negotiated agreements can help preserve unity and reduce unnecessary internal conflict. At the same time, he acknowledged that many contests […]

2027: INEC Voids Primaries Held After May 30

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has warned political parties that any internal party primary election conducted outside its May 30, 2026 deadline will be voided. The commission cautioned political parties to strictly adhere to the electoral timetable and conduct their primaries within the stipulated timeframe, saying any party that fails to comply will be at its own risk. The directive comes as political parties begin preparations for the 2027 general elections, with many parties already holding their internal primaries to select candidates for various positions across the federation. INEC's warning is aimed at preventing electoral chaos and ensuring that all parties follow the same timeline for candidate selection, which is crucial for the commission's ability to process and manage the electoral process effectively. Political analysts say the commission's position is based on the need to align internal party processes […]

13 Reps Switch Parties as Chinda Resigns as Minority Leader

Thirteen members of the House of Representatives have switched political parties in a major political realignment that has reshaped the party composition in the 10th National Assembly. The mass defection comes as Ahmad Chinda, the former Minority Leader of the House, has resigned from his position, marking a significant shift in the legislative landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections. Chinda's resignation as Minority Leader has triggered speculation about the future direction of opposition politics in the National Assembly. The representatives who switched parties represent various constituencies across Nigeria and their defections have altered the balance of power between the ruling party and the opposition in the lower chamber of the National Assembly. The move has been described as one of the largest party-switching incidents in recent Nigerian political history. Political analysts say the defections reflect growing fluidity in Nigeria's […]

Primary Elections: Nigerians Now Know You’re Liars, Wike Blasts ADC, NDC

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has lambasted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), saying the outcome of their recent presidential primaries has exposed them as “liars” who have been deceiving Nigerians. Speaking in Abuja while reacting to the crisis and protests that trailed the opposition parties’ primaries, Wike said the ADC and NDC had presented themselves as messiahs and claimed they would conduct transparent, data-driven internal elections, only to be engulfed in allegations of manipulation at their first major test. “As small as the NDC is, it cannot hold its primary election without protests,” Wike said, mocking the party for failing to manage its internal processes. He added: “Nigerians now know that you are all liars,” insisting that the crisis showed the parties were no different […]

2027: Wike Bars Unrecognised Party Factions From Abuja Event Centres, Hotels

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reportedly warned that unrecognised or court-disputed factions of political parties will not be allowed to use Abuja event centres and hotels for conventions or political gatherings ahead of the 2027 elections. The move comes amid ongoing controversy over the African Democratic Congress (ADC) convention venue saga, in which party officials alleged that the proprietor of Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja cancelled their fully paid booking after coming under pressure from the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) and the FCT Minister. The ADC claimed the venue owner was threatened with licence revocation if he allowed the convention to proceed at the facility. Wike has repeatedly denied these allegations, insisting that no formal application was submitted to use major public venues such as Eagle Square or the Moshood Abiola National Stadium. He […]
