BREAKING: Amupitan Sworn-In As New INEC Chairman By Tinubu
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday swore in Professor Joash Amupitan as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), formally marking the beginning of his tenure as head of the nation’s electoral body.
The ceremony took place at the Council Chambers of the Presidential Villa, Abuja ahead of an expanded meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC).
Charging the new INEC Chairman, President Tinubu urged him to uphold the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral process and strengthen the institutional capacity of the Commission to deliver credible elections.
Amupitan’s appointment followed the unanimous endorsement of his nomination by the National Council of State, to which the President had earlier submitted his name.
His confirmation by the Senate came after a voice vote conducted by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
A Professor of law at the University of Jos (UNIJOS), Amupitan hails from Ayetoro Gbede in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State.
He became a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) in 2014 and is widely recognised for his expertise in company law, law of evidence, corporate governance, and privatisation law.
With his assumption of office, the new INEC boss faces immediate responsibilities, including preparations for the Anambra State governorship election scheduled for November this year and the Federal Capital Territory Area Council elections in February 2026.
