The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to disclose and publish political contribution limits prescribed under the Electoral Act, 2026, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
SERAP made the demand in a statement signed and released by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, addressed to the INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, on Sunday.
The organisation said the demand was particularly important ahead of the 2027 elections, noting that INEC had already released the Notice of Election and the Timetable and Schedule of Activities for the polls.
The organisation urged INEC “to urgently disclose whether the Commission has exercised its statutory power to prescribe limits on political contributions under section 91 of the Electoral Act, 2026, and, if so, to publish the applicable limits and widely communicate them to political parties, candidates, donors and the Nigerian public.”
