A female presidential aspirant under the Democratic Liberation Alliance (DLA), Abisayo Busari-Akinnadeju, has resigned from the partyโs presidential race, alleging that the primary election process was unfair and compromised.
According to the aspirant, the conduct of the primary failed to reflect transparency, fairness and internal democratic principles expected within a credible political process.
Busari-Akinnadeju also demanded a refund of funds reportedly spent during the nomination and participation process, insisting that the exercise did not provide a level playing field for contestants.
The development has sparked conversations about internal party democracy, transparency and the treatment of female aspirants within Nigeriaโs political system.
Political observers say disputes over primary elections and allegations of manipulation continue to affect public confidence in many political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Supporters of the aspirant expressed disappointment over the situation, while some stakeholders called for reforms aimed at strengthening credibility and inclusiveness in party primaries.
Women advocacy groups have also continued to push for greater participation and fair opportunities for female politicians in Nigeriaโs electoral process.
Analysts believe internal disputes and dissatisfaction from aspirants could influence party unity and future political alignments as election activities intensify nationwide.
The DLA is yet to officially respond in detail to the allegations surrounding the conduct of the primary election.
