Just a few hours after a Federal High Court in Abuja ordered that government must enforce the 35 percent affirmative action for women, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) announced free nomination forms for women aspirants for all elective offices in the 2023 general election.
However, these women aspirants are mandated to pay the prescribed fees for expression of interest forms.
The nomination waiver covers all women aspirants vying for the party’s tickets to contest state and national assemblies, governorship, and presidential seats. Women aspirants in the ruling party had hitherto enjoyed a 50 percent discount for expression of interest and nomination forms.
