The submission of interim income and expenditure reports during the electoral process is one of the reforms undertaken in February 2022 and has generally been welcomed because it complies with previous recommendations. Following these new rules, contestants must submit an interim campaign finance report to the APC 5 days prior to elections, which is published by the APC online three days after submission. However, this interim report only covers the period of time up to 15 days before the election, which means that it leaves out precisely the final phase of the campaign and the expenditure of public funds.
