INEC's Joash Amupitan Faces Scrutiny Over Voter Register
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), under the leadership of Chairman Professor Joash Amupitan, is preparing for the 2027 General Elections amidst increasing scrutiny. Following a World Press Conference and Stakeholders’ Meeting at the International Conference Centre in Abuja, Amupitan assured that issues from the 2023 General Elections would not recur.
The Commission displayed the preliminary Register of Voters for Claims and Objections from 9th to 15th October, as required by law. However, it failed to upload this register on its official website, violating the Electoral Act 2026, which mandates that the register be publicly accessible online.
Stakeholders, including the media and political parties, were unable to find the register on the website, leading to accusations of opacity and potential corporate indiscipline within INEC. The situation raises significant concerns about the Commission's commitment to transparency and adherence to electoral laws.
