Should Congress Be Made Compulsory For Political Parties? by ahava(m): 4:10pm On Nov 10, 2010
INEC has come out with a position that for internal democracy to thrive,all political parties must go to congress.
Somebody has this to say because INEC is not providing funds for it
“Yes, we believe in internal democracy. But for democracy to thrive, it cannot be regulated in political parties. Parties are voluntary associations. People must be free to join whichever one they like, once they are willing to abide by their own rules and regulations, their own constitutions, as long as such constitutions do not offend the Nigerian constitution.

“There is also the issue of cost. If you say all parties must conduct their primaries in the 774 local governments and the 36 states, who will provide the huge funds for such venture?”

What is your take on this?
