Senator Saidu Dansadau, tells TAIWO AMODU why the Electoral Act must empower the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to automatically deregister political parties that do not win any seat in general election, among other issues. Even those who have offices, are they offices you can call national secretariat of a national political party? I don’t blame INEC, but I blame members of the National Assembly for making registration of political parties very simple and for not making a strict provision of deregistering non-performing political parties. It is high time the National Assembly amended the Electoral Act in such a manner that there will be automatic deregistration of political parties. But if you dare contest for primary in another political party and lose, don’t come to NRM.
