BREAKING: Council of State approves Amupitan as new INEC Chairman
The National Council of State has approved the appointment of Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan (SAN) from the North-Central as the new Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
President Bola Tinubu’s media aide, Bayo Onanuga, announced the development in a statement on Thursday.
According to him, President Tinubu presented Amupitan’s nomination to the council to fill the position vacated by Professor Mahmood Yakubu, whose tenure ended in October 2025 after serving since 2015.
Tinubu noted that Amupitan, from Kogi State, is the first person from the North-Central region to be nominated for the position and described him as apolitical.
Council members were said to have unanimously endorsed the nomination, with Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo, describing Amupitan as a man of integrity.
In line with constitutional requirements, the president is expected to forward Amupitan’s name to the Senate for screening and confirmation.
