INEC Chair Leads Delegation to South Korean Election Observation Program
INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan, SAN, leads Nigerian delegation to International Election Observation Programme (IEOP) in Seoul, South Korea, running from May 29 to June 5, 2026. The program, organized by South Korea's National Election Commission, was officially launched May 30 and brings together global election management bodies and observers.
Accompanying Amupitan are National Commissioner Mrs. May Agbamuche-Mbu, Chief Technical Adviser Prof. Dimis Mai-Lafia, and Director of Training Dr. Binta Kasim Mohammed. The team observed early voting at Mia-dong, Gangbuk-gu polling center, firsthand studying South Korea's electoral procedures.
