The associations are: All Democratic Alliance (ADA); Citizens Democratic Alliance (CDA); Abundance Social Party (ASP); African Alliance Party (AAP); Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA); Green Future Party (GFP), National Democratic Party (NDP) and Peoples Freedom Party (PFP).
INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Sam Olumekun in a statement issued Thursday said the next step in the registration process is the detailed assessment and verification of the information and documents submitted by each association.
This stage, he added, would ensure conformity with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), the Electoral Act 2022, and the Commission’s Regulations and Guidelines for Political Parties (2022).
Olumekun noted: “Following the briefing held for 14 pre-qualified associations on Tuesday, 17th September 2025, the Commission opened its dedicated portal for the upload of required documents from Wednesday, 18th September to Friday, 18th October 2025 at midnight.
“As of Saturday, 19th October 2025, eight (8) out of the 14 pre-qualified associations successfully completed the upload of all necessary information and documentation.”
