has insisted that none of the 74 parties deregistered last year would participate in the electoral process until the Supreme Court decides otherwise.
The commission, against the backdrop of legal suits filed against it by the 74 political parties, said on Friday, that its decision to strike them out remained intact until the Supreme Court decided otherwise. “Consequently, INEC will not monitor any purported primaries by any of the deregistered political parties and will not issue access code to or accept the list and particulars of candidates emanating from such primaries,” INEC spokesperson, Festus Okoye, said.
