The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disclosed that it has received 12 fresh applications from associations seeking registration as political parties, bringing the total number of pending applications to 122.
This comes just days after the commission’s earlier announcement on June 23 that it had received 110 applications.
Sam Olumekun, National Commissioner and Chairman of INEC’s Information and Voter Education Committee, in a statement issued on Thursday, reiterated that the review process remains transparent and fair to all applicants.
