Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), has urged the Federal High Court in Abuja to order the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish the systems and procedures it has put in place to monitor, investigate, and enforce compliance with political contribution and campaign spending limits ahead of the 2027 general elections.

SERAP, in a case marked HC/ABJ/CS/2114/2026, specifically seeks an order of mandamus compelling INEC to publish any contribution limits it has established under Section 91 of the Electoral Act 2026 and to disclose the measures it has implemented to oversee and enforce compliance by political parties, candidates, and donors. The civil society organisation, in the suit, which is yet to be assigned to a judge, criticised INEC for failing to respond to its open letter seeking public clarification on whether it had used its legal authority to impose limits on political donations.

SERAP also sought an order of mandamus directing INEC to disclose any applicable contribution limits and the actions taken to communicate these to political parties, candidates, donors, and the public.
