Prof. Joash Amupitan, former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has stated his unwillingness to accept any political or diplomatic role after his time at the electoral commission. This stance was shared during a discussion at Chatham House in London, titled "Nigeria’s 2027 Elections: Democratic Trajectory and Regional Stability Beyond the Ballot."
