Yakubu, represented by Director, Election and Party Monitoring Department, Aminu Idris, said out of the 91 political parties that participated in the 2019 polls, about 34 submitted their reports (both expenditures and incomes).

The major political parties reportedly spent N4.6billion, N3.3billion on billboards, print media advertisements, electronic media advertisements, and coverage/grammies (musical performances) during the 2019 polls.

 

 

 

According to the INEC official, in the list of the 34 political parties that submitted reports for the 2019 election, the major parties were not among them.
