What If INEC Chair Isn’t Appointed by the President?
Manage episode 492066230 series 3303024
Nigeria is approaching the 2027 general election and questions are being raised about the method of selecting the Chair of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Currently, the President appoints the INEC Chair, subject to Senate confirmation. But civil society groups and constitutional experts argue that this process creates conflicts of interest and undermines the integrity of elections.
What would happen if the INEC Chair were selected by an independent panel instead? Would this strengthen electoral credibility or open other challenges?
This is what we are going to explore in today’s episode of Nigeria Daily.
