Inec De-registers 7 Political Parties by gfus: 12:33am On Aug 19, 2011
The INEC on Thursday in Abuja deregistered seven political parties for not winning any political seat at the April general elections.

Prof. Attihiru Jega, the Commission’s Chairman, announced this at a news conference, adding that the action was in accordance with the provision of the Electoral Act.

“In pursuant to the provision of section 78 sub-section 72 of the Electoral Act 2010 as amended, INEC hereby
de-registers the following political parties: Democratic Alternative, National Democratic Council, National Action Council, Masses Movement of Nigeria, Nigerian People`s Congress, Nigerian Element Progressive Party and National Unity Party.’’

Why would they de-register only 7 political parties. I want to believe that the parties that didn't win any seat during the last elections are more than seven. The only parties I think won some seats are:

PDP - If nothing all, our president
ACN -
ANPP -
CPC - Governor Nassarawa (if nothing at all)
APGA - Rep
Accord Party - I think 1 seat in Oyo state (not sure what)

Well INEC told us some other would be delisted after all tribunal seatings.

It is a good step.

[size=15pt]Nigeria deserves a Two or Three party system. A multiparty system is just a waste of time. They will naturally fiddle out.[/size]
Re: Inec De-registers 7 Political Parties by sley4life(m): 1:24pm On Aug 19, 2011
de registering 7 is far too small.Only about 5 political parties in Nigeria should remain

That was the hope but we kept seeing people branching out from Mega parties to form silly political parties. Some political parties only operate where the financier is, beyond that point you would not hear it anywhere and that is the problem. One of such parties is that one in Bonny.

God will help Nigeria, I believe the situation would improve with the gradual deregistration of parties.
