African Alliance Party Threatens Legal Action Against INEC Over Registration Dispute

The African Alliance Party (AAP) has issued a statement through its National Public Secretary, Alhaji Abubakar Sadiq, threatening to sue the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) if it fails to register the party for the 2027 general elections. AAP accuses INEC of unjustly removing them from the list of pre-qualified political associations, claiming their documents met all requirements.

AAP questions the registration process, highlighting the alleged preferential treatment given to other parties like the Nigeria Democrat Congress (NDC). The party demands immediate registration and transparency from INEC.

AAP also raises concerns about the NDC's registration process, claiming the party was not part of the official platform during submissions. The party urges civil society groups to monitor the registration process closely.
