Electoral Act: Parties weigh options as Senate, INEC stand firm

AI Summary

Political parties are adjusting their strategies to meet the digital membership registration requirements of the Electoral Act 2026. The African Democratic Congress and the Action Democratic Party have voiced opposition to certain provisions of the act, while the Tanimu Turaki faction of the PDP announced a three‑week nationwide digital membership drive starting tomorrow, overseen by a committee chaired by Theophilus Daka Shan. The APC completed its digital registration last month, and other parties are expected to follow suit to submit their digital registers to INEC. These actions are intended to ensure compliance ahead of the 2027 elections.
