African Alliance Party Threatens Legal Action Against INEC Over Registration Denial
The African Alliance Party (AAP) has given the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) a two-week ultimatum to register them or face legal consequences. The AAP's interim National Chairman, Rev. Olusegun Peter, revealed in a press conference in Abuja that the party, one of eight pre-qualified associations seeking registration, had met all requirements but was denied registration by INEC.
The AAP alleges that INEC's actions are politically motivated, as the party has been gaining popularity ahead of the 2027 general elections. The party's lawyer has threatened legal action if INEC fails to review its decision within the stipulated timeframe.
Interestingly, the Nigeria Democrat Congress (NDC) was registered despite not being among the pre-qualified associations, raising questions about the registration process's fairness.
