Falana Urges INEC to Sanction Early Campaigning Ahead of 2027 Elections
Human rights lawyer Femi Falana has called on INEC to sanction politicians engaging in early campaigns ahead of the 2027 general election. Falana emphasized that premature campaigning is abnormal and violators should be prosecuted.
He warned that failure to comply with INEC regulations could lead to legal consequences, including contempt of court. Falana's statement followed threats from SERAP to take legal action against INEC for failing to punish offenders involved in early campaigning activities.
The push for accountability aims to uphold electoral integrity and fairness in the political process.
