2027: INEC Fires Back At Coalition Over Party Registration Delay

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has clarified the process for registering new political parties while debunking claims that it has approved any recently. In a statement, INEC’s Chief Press Secretary, Rotimi Oyekanmi, emphasized the commission’s commitment to transparency and adherence to timelines in handling applications.
According to Oyekanmi, the conditions for party registration are outlined in the 2022 Regulations and Guidelines for Political Parties. Any association seeking registration must submit a letter of intent, including its proposed name, symbol, and acronym, at least 12 months before a general election. Once approved, the group must pay an administrative fee determined by the commission.
Following payment, an access code is issued to allow the association’s chairman or secretary to download and submit necessary forms and documents within 30 days. These include the proposed party’s constitution, manifesto, evidence of lawful occupation of its headquarters in Abuja, and a comprehensive register of members. An affidavit confirming the authenticity of the submitted documents is also required.
INEC then evaluates the submission to ensure compliance with all legal and administrative requirements. Oyekanmi noted that if any part of the application is found to be false, or if the same individuals submit multiple applications, the process will be invalidated.
A key verification step involves confirming that the National Executive Committee reflects the Federal Character principle — with members drawn from at least 24 states and the Federal Capital Territory. Other checks include ensuring the party’s constitution and manifesto align with the Nigerian Constitution and Electoral Act, and that the name, motto, or symbol do not violate any constitutional provisions.
Addressing recent rumors, INEC used its official X handle on Wednesday to state that it has not registered any new political party, and the total number of registered parties remains 19. It urged the public to ignore false reports suggesting otherwise.
INEC also clarified the status of two parties mentioned in the false report — Independent Democrats and Peoples Democratic Movement — which were both deregistered in February 2020 in line with Section 225A of the 1999 Constitution.
The commission reaffirmed its commitment to due process and transparency in all electoral activities.

UK Urges Israel Against Retaliation Over Palestinian Statehood

Britain’s Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, has cautioned Israel against retaliating for the UK’s recognition of a Palestinian state by annexing parts of the West Bank. Cooper confirmed that she directly conveyed this message to her Israeli counterpart.
The UK, along with Canada, Australia, and Portugal, formally recognized Palestinian statehood on Sunday, a significant change in British foreign policy. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu criticized the decision, calling it a “huge reward to terrorism.”
According to Cooper, the move is intended to promote peace, justice, and regional stability for both Israelis and Palestinians. She noted that extremists from both sides are attempting to undermine a two-state solution, a framework the UK remains dedicated to.
The UK has yet to confirm a timeline for upgrading its Consulate General in East Jerusalem to a full embassy. Cooper plans to use an upcoming UN conference to foster international agreement on a new framework for Middle East peace. France and Saudi Arabia are co-chairing talks on the two-state solution, and Belgium is also anticipated to support Palestinian statehood. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has welcomed the UK’s decision, seeing it as a step toward peaceful coexistence with Israel.

Wanted Bandit Leader Embraces Peace Deal in Katsina

A notorious bandit kingpin, Isiya Kwashen Garwa, once declared wanted by the Defence Headquarters, has reportedly agreed to a peace deal in Katsina State.
According to reports by security analyst Zagazola Makama, Garwa—listed among Nigeria’s 19 most-wanted terrorists and bandits—surfaced in Hayin Gada community, Faskari Local Government Area, presenting himself as a supporter of dialogue.
Garwa, a native of Kamfanin Daudawa village in Faskari LGA, has for years been linked to killings, kidnappings, and violent raids across Katsina and neighboring states. Security experts identify him as a key figure in the armed networks destabilizing the North-West and North-Central, taking advantage of weak state presence and porous borders.
His sudden shift toward reconciliation is raising mixed reactions. While some community members view it as a long-awaited opportunity for peace, others remain skeptical, citing his bloody past and the many atrocities attributed to his group.
