The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has denied the news making the round that it has registered two new political parties.
Online media (Not CityMirrorNews) had claimed that two new political parties, Independent Democrats Peoples Democratic Movement, have been registered by the commission.
However, INEC in a statement on its X handle on Wednesday, described the report as fake.
