The All Progressives Congress, APC has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to immediately enforce the September 24, 2026, Supreme Court judgment in INEC v. Zenith Labour Party, which reaffirmed the validity of Section 77 of the Electoral Act 2026.
The position, which was conveyed in a letter dated October 9, 2026 and addressed to the INEC Chairman, was co-signed by the APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, and the party’s National Secretary, Senator Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, Ph.D.
Fresh Angle International, understands that the judgment underscores the statutory requirement for political parties to submit their membership registers to INEC at least 21 days before primaries, congresses and conventions.
It also provides that only members listed in the duly submitted register are eligible to vote and be voted for in these internal party processes.
The APC urged INEC to verify compliance by all political parties and apply the statutory consequences of any established violations, without fear or favour.
The Party emphasized that credible elections require transparent internal democratic processes and strict adherence to the rule of law.
The APC called on INEC to act promptly to enforce the Supreme Court judgment and uphold the integrity of the electoral process.
