SERAP Takes INEC to Court over Campaign Funding, Party Accounts

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project has taken the Independent National Electoral Commission to court over the disclosure of political donation limits and party finances ahead of the 2027 general election. The case, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2114/2026, was filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
