In a letter signed by Rose Oriaran-Anthony, INEC’s secretary, the commission stated that it based its decision on section 84 (1) of the electoral act 2022 which says  “A political party seeking to nominate candidates for elections under this act shall hold primaries for aspirants to all elective positions which shall be monitored by the commission.”
