Stakeholders Set Agenda for New INEC Chairman Amid Electoral Reform Calls

Stakeholders across political and civic spectrums are setting the agenda for Prof. Joash Amupitan, the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), emphasizing key reforms to restore public trust and deepen electoral transparency. Amid challenges and warnings, including concerns over transparency in the confirmation process, Amupitan's appointment has elicited jubilation and hope for positive changes in electoral practices.

The appointment coincides with preparations for upcoming elections in Anambra, Ekiti, and Osun states. Notably, former President Bola Tinubu's legal team member, Babatunde Ogala, has debunked any involvement in Amupitan's defense.
