Ahead of the 2027 general election, the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC has expanded Nigeria's political landscape with the registration of two new political parties - the Democratic Leadership Alliance DLA and the Nigeria Democratic Congress NDC.
This was as it strongly wondered why it should continue to register parties or have existing parties retain their registration if they keep having persistent leadership infighting, stating that crises in parties are a threat to the Constitution.
Speaking on Thursday at the first regular consultative meeting with political parties, INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, announced the registration of the DLA and NDC, bringing the number of registered political parties to 21.
