INEC Promises Credible Election and Security in Ekiti

On June 20, the governorship election in Ekiti State will be conducted under the supervision of Prof. Joash Amupitan, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Amupitan assured the citizens of Ekiti that the election would be credible and secure, with a total of 1,059,360 registered voters across 16 local government areas.
