The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has
provided update on the registration of new political parties.
Sam Olumekun, the National Commissioner and Chairman,
Information & Voter Education Committee, gave the update after the weekly
meeting of the Commission on Thursday.
The INEC official revealed since the 4th update released on
23rd July 2025, the Commission has received eight more letters of intent from
associations seeking registration as political parties.
“This brings the number received so far to 151,” Olumekun
said.
He added that details of the latest requests, indicating the
proposed names, acronyms, logos, addresses and interim leaderships of the
associations have been uploaded on its website and other online platforms for
public information.
According to him, having created the portal for party
registration, INEC has commenced the shortlisting of the associations that meet
the requirements to proceed to the application stage.
“Details will be released immediately after the 16
bye-elections in 12 states scheduled for Saturday 16th August 2025,” the INEC
official said.
“Once again, we reassure Nigerians that the Commission shall
continue to keep citizens informed on all its activities.”
