Independent National Electoral Commission has said the newly formed All Progressives Congress is yet to be recognised by the electoral body. INEC said APC remaind a political association.
Major opposition parties — the All Nigeria Peoples Party, Action Congress of Nigeria, All Progressives Grand Alliance and the Congress for Progressive Change — had recently announced their merger to form APC.
The Chief Press Secretary to the INEC chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu, however, said, “The last report I had was when they (APC) said their merger committee was at work, trying to draw up a logo and trying to finalise the name.
“By law, we do not expect APC to come to INEC. The political parties that are fusing into another party will individually and respectively come back to INEC, notifying us that they are fusing into a party with a new identity.
“Because there is no party with the APC on INEC’s record, nobody called APC can contact INEC. But ACN can contact INEC to announce its merger with APC. Each constituent will issue a notice to INEC; attached with the resolution in their respective conventions approving matter. It is the notice that will prompt INEC to recall their individual certificates and issue a joint certificate.”
He however said none of the parties forming APC had yet to take the step. “I am not even aware that any of them has called a national convention,” Idowu added.
When asked if APC could be regarded as a political association, he said, “More or less, yes.”
