As political parties brace up for primaries, nomination of candidates and campaigns, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has challenged them to stick to the provisions of the Nigerian constitution, their own constitution and INEC’s guidelines.
Chairman of the commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, stated this at a meeting with political parties, held at the commission’s headquarters on Wednesday.
Jega called on the “Political parties to respect and abide by the Code of Conduct which they signed and ensure that their aspirants and nominated candidates are fully compliant with the relevant provisions.”
He also re-affirmed the commission’s decision to create additional polling units, which has been suspended till after 2015.
