The newly appointed Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Dr. Aminu Amupitan, will officially assume office on Thursday, according to sources within the commission.
Dr. Amupitan takes over leadership at a crucial time as INEC prepares for upcoming off-cycle elections and continues reforms aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s electoral process.
His assumption of office follows the exit of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, who has completed his tenure after overseeing two general election cycles.
Amupitan, a seasoned administrator and electoral expert, is expected to bring renewed focus to transparency, voter confidence, and digital innovation within the electoral body.
Observers and political analysts are already watching closely to see the direction his leadership will take ahead of future national polls.
