Can Joash Ojo Amupitan Restore Confidence in Nigeria's Electoral System?
Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan has been nominated as the new chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria. This appointment comes at a crucial time when the country is facing a significant decline in voter turnout, with the 2023 elections marking the lowest in modern democratic history.
The nomination of Amupitan, a native of Kogi State, is seen as a potential opportunity to address the trust deficit in the electoral system. The decline in voter participation since 2011 highlights the challenges faced by INEC in ensuring free and fair elections.
