Professor Joash Amupitan, the incumbent chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has brought to light a significant issue that could potentially disrupt the electoral process in Nigeria's 2027 general election. At a recent national stakeholders' meeting, Amupitan identified the collation of election results as a major gap in the electoral system.
This concern has been recurring, as evidenced by past elections. Amupitan's assessment suggests that the problems lie not in the voting process or the functionality of polling units, but rather during the critical stage of result collation. He emphasized the importance of tackling this issue head-on, stating, "We should work harder to hand over a better INEC to those that will come after us."
A critical part of INEC's efforts to address this challenge involves implementing safeguards to ensure a seamless transition from voting to result collation.
