A political Association, Green Future Party, (GDP), has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), of denying it registration despite meeting all requirements.
The Interim National Chairman of the party, Adefolaseye Adebayo, made this allegation yesterday in an interview on Arise Television, monitored in Abuja.
Peoples Daily reports that GFP was one of several political associations that applied for registration with INEC in 2025-2026, alongside other groups like the All Democratic Alliance, (ADA), and Citizens Democratic Alliance, (CDA).
However, as of February 2026, the GFP did not secure final registration
Reacting, Adebayo said, “INEC failed to act in line with its own guidelines. We met every requirement for party registration, were verified physically, and were even told by INEC officials that we performed excellently.
“Yet, after the statutory 60 days elapsed, INEC turned around to claim we did not comply with conditions we had already fulfilled.
“I think there’s a political undertone. INEC gave criteria which is just like a list. The conditions were that the people forming the party should be Nigeria citizens as well as the party flag should not be like Nigeria flag and whole lot of others which we met.”
