The Electoral Act governs candidate nomination, submission of forms/affidavits to INEC, and party primaries, but it does not empower parties to impose post-election seat-vacation penalties via private agreements. It focuses on pre-election processes like candidate eligibility and prohibits certain dual memberships
Sections 68(1)(g) and 109(1)(g) of the Constitution already mandate that a member vacate their seat if they defect from the party that sponsored their election, unless the defection results from a division in the original party or a merger. This is a constitutional rule, not dependent on any party form or affidavit. Courts
NDC anti-defection policy (requiring candidates to sign indemnity forms and affidavits committing to vacate seats upon defection) is not automatically binding or directly enforceable under Nigeria’s 1999 Constitution (as amended) or the Electoral Act. It functions more as an internal party mechanism with limited legal teeth, especially for automatic seat vacation.
