He explained that credible elections begin with sound legal frameworks and urged stakeholders to view law as the backbone of democracy rather than just a set of rules. Amupitan said his efforts will focus on creating a system that all Nigerians can take pride in.
The INEC chairman also stressed the need to reduce post-election disputes, noting that an ideal electoral system should produce results that reflect the will of the people without ending up in prolonged court battles.
Amupitan said his commitment is to make elections more transparent and less contentious, ensuring that the process itself, not the courts, determines the winners. He assured that under his leadership, INEC will prioritise reforms that build confidence, fairness, and lasting credibility in Nigeria’s democracy.
