The nominee for the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Amupitan, has assured the Senate Committee of his commitment to auditing the 2023 general elections in Nigeria.

Amupitan aims to focus on resolving logistical issues that affected the previous elections and collaborate with stakeholders to design effective solutions for future polls.
