Electoral commission responds to skepticism over party registration policy.
In a formal briefing, INEC officials explained the criteria and vetting process for new party registrations, defending it as inclusive yet rigorous.
They highlighted recent reforms to vetting timelines, document authentication, and funding disclosures.
Critics argue that the new process still favors well-connected groups, but INEC assured all applicants receive equal consideration.
INEC Commissioner emphasized that a vibrant party environment supports democracy, while maintaining checks on extremism or religious fanaticism.
