The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has raised concerns regarding the implications of the Electoral Act 2026, specifically highlighting the removal of indirect primaries. IPAC argues that this change could significantly undermine internal party democracy within Nigeria's political landscape. The council emphasizes that the ability for parties to choose their candidates through indirect primaries is essential for fostering democratic practices and ensuring broader participation among party members. IPAC's statement calls for a reconsideration of this aspect of the electoral legislation to preserve the democratic integrity of political parties.
