FULL LIST: 2 'ADA' Emerge as INEC Announces 110 Political Party Registration Applications

• INEC received 110 political party applications ahead of the 2027 elections, including two parties with the acronym “ADA”
• INEC dismissed claims of bias, stating it will treat all registration requests fairly and in accordance with electoral laws, regardless of the political influence of the applicants
• High-profile figures including Atiku, Amaechi, and El-Rufai are reportedly backing one of the ADA factions

FCT, Abuja – As political momentum builds ahead of the 2027 general election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disclosed that it has received no fewer than 110 applications from associations seeking registration as political parties.

Among these are two proposed parties bearing the same acronym “ADA”, the All Democratic Alliance and the Advanced Democratic Alliance, a development that is likely to spark interest and confusion among political observers.

Recall that among the groups seeking registration is the All Democratic Alliance (ADA), reportedly backed by an emerging anti-Tinubu coalition.

Prominent politicians believed to be part of the initiative include former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former governors Rotimi Amaechi and Nasir El-Rufai, and northern political leader Umar Ardo.

A statement posted via its X on Thursday, June 26, INEC stated that its registration process is transparent, fair, and guided strictly by law.

INEC insists on impartiality in political party registration

INEC also addressed recent claims that it is compromising its independence by dragging its feet on certain applications, including those believed to be backed by high-profile politicians.

The Commission dismissed these as unfounded and politically motivated.

“Nigerians may recall that the same accusation was made in 2013 when the Commission was falsely accused of obstructing a party merger. The present Commission has acted strictly according to the law,” INEC noted.

The electoral body pointed out that it had previously registered 91 political parties ahead of the 2019 elections and later deregistered over 70 for failing to meet legal requirements.
