A non-denominational civil society organisation, the Christian Conscience Group, has urged political stakeholders across the country to strengthen internal democracy within their political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The call was contained in a statement ointly signed by the National Chairman, Dr. Mrs. Yetunde Akinluyi, and National Secretary, Revd Dr. Kolawole Verrals after the group’s monthly meeting, made available to PUNCH Online on Wednesday.
Reacting to the ongoing party primaries across the country, the group congratulated those who emerged victorious while urging those who lost to explore internal mechanisms for redress rather than defecting from one party to another.
“We have watched with keen interest the ongoing party primaries across the country. We congratulate those who emerged victoriously while urging those who lost to explore internal mechanisms for redress rather than defecting from one party to another.
“We wait for all parties to have their primary elections. Internal democracy must be strengthened if our democratic process is to continue to grow,” the statement read.
