  "summary": "SERAP, a Nigerian human rights organization, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish limits on political donations and disclose its systems for monitoring compliance during the upcoming 2027 elections. The organization argues that transparency in political financing is essential for ensuring a level playing field and enabling citizens to make informed decisions. SERAP emphasizes the need for INEC to provide information on its monitoring methods, including how it identifies and addresses cash and in-kind contributions, digital and social-media financing, third-party expenditure, and donations through intermediaries. The group argues that publishing these reports would enable Nigerians to scrutinize political financing and prevent the monetization of elections from distorting electoral competition.",
