The All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, not to register the newly floated "All Peoples Democratic Alliance, APDA.
APGA said the reason is that names of the two parties sound alike and could confuse voters during elections.
The National Chairman of APGA, Victor Oye, made the call in a message to members of the party to mark his two years in office in Awka on Wednesday.
According to Oye, APDA, the acronym of the new group, shared similarity with APGA and would confuse party followers if registered.
He said, "I want to draw the attention of INEC once again to the plans to register All Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA) whose acronym sounds like APGA.
"This is capable of confusing prospective voters in an election; therefore, INEC should not register the new party in view of our formal protest.
"It should do something urgently to avert the impending confusion."
