Publish political donation limits for 2027 elections, SERAP tells INEC

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on Nigeria's Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to disclose and publish political contribution limits set under the Electoral Act, 2026, ahead of the 2027 general elections. In a statement issued by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, SERAP urged INEC to reveal whether it has exercised its statutory authority to establish limits on political contributions under Section 91 of the Act. The organization emphasized the need for transparency in monitoring and enforcing compliance with these limits, including systems for tracking cash, in-kind contributions, digital financing, and third-party expenditures. SERAP argued that greater transparency is essential to ensure fair elections and allow voters to make informed decisions. It highlighted concerns about the growing monetization of Nigerian politics and the risks posed to democratic integrity.
