Former Governor Nasir El-Rufai has shared his concerns about the possibility of registering a new political party before the 2027 elections
In an interview with Arise TV, El-Rufai said that many members of the anti-Tinubu coalition which he is part of believe that the current leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will not allow a new political party to be former and registered before 2027 elections
El-Rufai said the current INEC chairman Mahmood Yakubu and President Tinubu are not like former INEC chairman Attahiru Jega and former President Goodluck Jonathan who allowed APC to be registered as a political party in 2013.
In El-Rufai’s words: “Many of us do not believe that under the current leadership of INEC a new party will be registered because Dr Mahmood Yakubu is not Jega and President Tinubu is not Jonathan. Those were the people in charge when the APC was registered. Many were pessimistic about the prospects of registering a new party, but we said let us try it anyway, let us show INEC is not independent, let us show that this government is interfering to ensure that there is no opposition”
