Taraba Electoral Commission Denies Deliberate Exclusion of APC from Elections

The Taraba State Independent Electoral Commission (TSIEC) denied the All Progressives Congress (APC) claim that it deliberately excluded the party from the November 8, 2025, local government elections. TSIEC clarified that the APC chose not to participate despite being given the opportunity to engage in the electoral process.

The APC had accused TSIEC of selling election forms, but TSIEC stated that the party failed to submit a list of candidates as required by law. The commission highlighted that the APC's absence was due to its own actions and not deliberate exclusion.
