The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) received applications from 110 political associations seeking registration ahead of the 2027 elections.
We recalls that INEC announced that 110 associations and groups have submitted letters of intent to become political parties as Nigeria gears up for the 2027 election.
Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC chairman, noted that names and other details of the new political parties would soon be uploaded to its website for transparency.
Among the 100 associations seeking INEC registration is the Obidient Peoples Party (OPP).
As reported by TheCable, the OPP chairman is Barry Avotu Johnson with its headquarters at No. 3 Mekanbo Close, Along Durban Street, Wuse II, Abuja, Nigeria.
It is not immediately clear if OPP is linked to Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections.
TheTalk.NG reports that the ‘Obidient Movement’ that worked for the candidacy of Obi gained momentum during the lead-up to the 2023 general election.
The ‘Obidient Movement’, which began on social media, later transformed into offline rallies and campaign activities across multiple states.
The movement launched a digital portal for member registration and the issuance of identity cards in April 2025.
It is, however, unclear whether the movement has any connection to the OPP seeking INEC’s registration.
According to the INEC document released on Wednesday, June 25, 2025, Progressive Obedients Party (POP) is another association on the list of those seeking registration ahead of the 2027 elections.
