The New Nigeria Peoples Party has denied entering any coalition or working arrangement with other political parties ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections. The party said it had no deal with other parties, but the supplied report gives no further detail about the claims or any talks that may have prompted them.

The New Nigeria Peoples Party has denied joining a political coalition ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections, Punch Nigeria reports. The party also rejected claims that it had entered into a working arrangement with other political parties. Its stated position was that it had no deal with other parties, according to the supplied material.

The denial addresses reports or claims that the NNPP had become part of a broader political grouping. The available account does not identify the parties allegedly involved, name any proposed coalition or say who made the claims. It also does not provide details of discussions within the NNPP, explain whether any informal contacts have taken place or indicate whether the party is considering future electoral alliances.

The statement therefore establishes only that the NNPP says it has not joined a coalition or agreed a working arrangement with other parties ahead of the 2027 elections. No further reaction or timetable was included in the supplied report.
