  "summary": "SERAP, a Nigerian non-governmental organization, has filed a lawsuit against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over its alleged failure to disclose limits on political contributions ahead of the 2027 general elections. The organization is seeking an order compelling INEC to disclose the specific limits prescribed, the measures taken to publish and communicate them, and the systems and procedures in place to monitor, investigate, and enforce compliance with these limits. SERAP argues that transparency in political financing is essential for ensuring a level playing field in the 2027 elections and enabling citizens to make informed political choices.",
