Senate Confirms Amupitan As INEC Chairman
The Senate has confirmed Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan (SAN) as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
This followed his screening by lawmakers which lasted for two hours in the red chambers of the National Assembly, Abuja.
During the screening, Amupitan answered critical questions from senators regarding elections, administration, policy and Electoral Act among others.
Recall that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had on Tuesday requested the Senate to confirm Amupitan as new INEC chairman following the expiration of tenure of Prof Mahmood Yakubu.
Tinubu’s request was contained in a letter read during plenary by Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
