INEC Registers Two New Political Parties: DLA and NDC
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially registered two new political parties, bringing the total number of registered parties in Nigeria to 21.
The new parties are:
Democratic Leadership Alliance (DLA) Registered after fully meeting all constitutional and legal requirements under the 1999 Constitution (as amended), the Electoral Act 2022, and INEC guidelines.
Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Registered in compliance with a Federal High Court order from Lokoja, Kogi State.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, announced the registrations during the commission’s quarterly consultative meeting with political party leaders in Abuja on February 5, 2026.
He revealed that out of 171 associations that applied for registration, only 14 were pre-qualified, 8 uploaded required documents, and just two qualified for final assessment with DLA succeeding on merit and NDC via court directive.
Certificates of registration will be presented to both parties soon.
Prof. Amupitan also urged political parties to resolve internal disputes through dialogue, warning that ongoing conflicts and litigation could undermine Nigeria’s electoral process ahead of future elections.
