The INEC Chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan, has urged Nigerians to trust his leadership to deliver credible 2027 elections, citing improvements in recent off-cycle polls in Anambra, Osun, Ekiti and the FCT.
Speaking at Chatham House, London, he admitted the 2023 election dented public confidence, but said every election since has been used to strengthen accreditation and result management.
He said INEC has built safeguards to stop inaccurate or over-voting results from being uploaded to IReV, after its audit traced 2023 failures mainly to collation centres.
