The Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, has predicted that Nigerian youths, with their population, could be the ones to determine the outcome of the 2019 general elections.
He also said apart from the 68 existing political parties,
the commission was processing over 130 fresh applications from associations
seeking to be registered as political parties.
He, however, said the country might end up with about 80 to
85 parties, and that if half of them nominated candidates, there might be about
46,000 candidates for the 2019 general elections.
