Falana Urges INEC to Punish 2027 Early Campaign Offenders

Human rights lawyer Femi Falana has urged Nigeria's electoral body, INEC, to punish politicians and parties involved in early campaigning for the 2027 general election. Falana emphasized the need for INEC to take legal action against violators to uphold electoral laws.

He described the early campaigning as abnormal and stressed the importance of holding offenders accountable through court sanctions. Falana's call for strict enforcement of campaign regulations aims to ensure a fair electoral process in the upcoming election.

The Rights and Accountability Project had also raised concerns about early campaigning, highlighting the need for INEC to maintain transparency and adherence to electoral guidelines.
