Professor Amupitan, chairman of the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC), assured Nigerians of a smooth electoral
process while monitoring the FCT council elections on Saturday at several
polling units in Abuja Municipal Council (AMAC).
Amupitan confirmed that the Bimodal Voter
Accreditation System (BVAS) is functioning efficiently and that e-transmission
of results is being conducted in line with existing laws. He also commended
commission officials for the timely deployment of election materials, noting
that the polls had been peaceful across the FCT.
He emphasized that the credibility of the area council
elections will strengthen confidence in grassroots democracy, especially as the
country prepares for the 2027 general elections.
The FCT election represents one of Amupitan’s first
major assignments since assuming office as INEC chairman in October 2025.
