Nigeria election: APC names parties INEC should de-list, gives reasons
The party made the call through Steve Otaloro, its Director of Media and Publicity.He said the inclusion of many parties on the ballot paper had huge financial implication on the nation’s economy.“Probably, there should be criteria for this because it is not just a huge financial burden on INEC but a serious burden on the nation,” he said.
According to him, the number does not allow illiterate Nigerians to quickly understand ballot papers on election days, hence the resultant high number of voided votes. “I think INEC, which has constitutional role to set the rules, should do away with political parties that cannot win at least one state House of Assembly seat in the election,” he said.
