The final list of candidates released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the 2027 general elections has sparked disputes, with candidates and political parties challenging alleged omissions and substitutions. Affected candidates and parties have raised concerns over names missing from the final list, with some threatening legal action and others already commencing court proceedings. INEC has rejected allegations that it altered candidates' lists, insisting that the parties themselves uploaded the names using access codes provided by the commission. The deputy director of Voter Education and Publicity, Wilfred Ifogah, stated that the commission published the names submitted by political parties.
