With the 2027 general elections on the horizon, the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has renewed its push for legislative action to boost women’s representation in Nigeria’s political space.
The council is advocating for the passage of a pivotal bill that would constitutionally reserve 74 seats in the National Assembly exclusively for women.
The proposal was central to discussions at a two-day empowerment conference held in Abuja, themed ‘Breaking the Barriers and Shaping Positive Attitudes Towards Inclusive Politics in Nigeria’.
