The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has confirmed receiving letters of intent from 110 associations seeking registration as political parties.
Chairman of the Commission, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this today noting that the requests are being processed in line with the relevant laws and the Commission’s Regulations and Guidelines.
Yakubu, further refuted claim made by Coalition of Opposition political leaders that the Commission might not want to register a new political party.
