Chairman of Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Joash Amupitan, on November 12, was confronted by Nigerian diaspora protesters outside Chatham House in London. Demonstrators surrounded his vehicle, chanting slogans and insults, demanding his immediate resignation.
Amupitan was in the United Kingdom to speak at a panel discussion on Nigeria’s upcoming 2027 general elections. In his speech, during a panel on “Nigeria’s 2027 Elections: Democratic Trajectory and Regional Stability Beyond the Ballot”, Amupitan defended the commission’s ongoing preparations for the January 2027 general elections.
The demonstrators accused Amupitan and INEC of compromising the integrity of Nigeria’s upcoming 2027 elections. They cited alleged irregularities in the preliminary voters’ register, including duplicate entries, fake polling units, AI-generated photos, among other issues.
