President Tinubu swears in Amupitan as new INEC chairman

 

President Bola Tinubu has sworn in Professor Joash Amupitan as Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

 

The swearing-in ceremony took place at the State House in Abuja on Thursday, October 24, a week after the Senate confirmed Amupitan’s appointment on October 16.

 

During the swearing-in ceremony, President Tinubu charged the new INEC boss to protect the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral process and strengthen the institution’s capacity to deliver credible elections.

 

Amupitan takes over from Yakubu Mahmood who conducted the 2023 general elections.
