2027: Nine political parties have collected access codes – INEC [FULL LIST]

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says nine political parties have so far collected access codes to upload their candidates’ particulars ahead of the 2027 general elections.

This was made known by INEC National Commissioner in charge of Voter Education and Publicity, Malam Haruna, on Tuesday in Abuja.

”As of close of work on Monday, nine politicians have collected the access code for the national elections,” Haruna said.

He listed the political parties as Accord, Action Alliance, AA; African Democratic Congress, ADC; All Progressives Congress, APC; Labour Party, LP; National Democratic Congress, NDC; National Democratic Party, NDP; Peoples Redemption Party, PRP; and Social Democratic Party, SDP.

The INEC senior official said rather than the commission taking the codes to individual party secretariats, the political parties ought to approach the commission for collection.

He also declared that there must be an authorization letter from the leadership of any political party, who wants the codes to be collected on their behalf.

According to him, INEC has issued guidelines for candidate nomination, advising political parties to adhere strictly to the rules.
