What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The leadership of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) Katonga faction on Monday visited the Electoral Commission (EC) offices in Namuwongo, demanding registration forms to begin the process of registering their new party, the People’s Front for Freedom (PFF).

The faction had written to the EC on September 16, requesting registration despite ongoing disagreements. However, the EC had not responded, prompting the visit.

The acting party president, Mr Erias Lukwago, accompanied by other officials, met the EC deputy spokesperson, Mr Paul Bukenya, who informed them that senior leaders were unavailable.

Frustrated by the absence of responsible officers, the group pressed Mr Bukenya for a clear timeline but left without a resolution.

Mr Bukenya said: “You wrote matters which we are going to respond to. I cannot give you a date because all the commissioners are in the field for reorganisation and training. All I advise is that you await communication from us. This is a procedural matter, and we shall get back to you.”
