Campaign Funding Law: INEC Moves against Defaulters

Ahead of the 2019 general elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has vowed to apply appropriate sanctions against political parties or candidates who flout the campaign spending laws..

The commission however said it can only swing to work when it gets evidence against the defaulters.

According to INEC, while parties are in possession of the electoral law and INEC guidelines, they are aware of the measures the commission can take to sanction those who err.

The commission however added that so far, it has not seen any evidence that suggests that candidates or parties have flouted the campaign funding guidelines in the buildup to the Anambra State governorship election..
