INEC okays APC as new political party

THE  Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Wednesday registered the All Progressives Congress (APC) as a political party.


A statement signed by the Secretary to the Commission, Abdullahi A. Kaugama, said the applicant-parties –  the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) –  had met all statutory requirements for their merger application.
“The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has approved the application by three political parties to merge into one, to be known as the All Progressives Congress,” the statement said.
The individual certificates of the applicant parties have therefore been withdrawn and a single certificate issued in the name of the All Progressives Congress.
 The statement read in full: " The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has approved the application by three political parties – the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) – to merge into one, to be known as the All Progressives Congress.
"On considering the application, the Commission found that the applicant-parties have met all statutory requirements for the merger, and has accordingly granted their request.
"Consequently, the Commission has approved the withdrawal of the individual certificates of the applicant-parties, and the issuance of a single certificate to the All Progressives Congress."
