This constitutional amendment proposal seeks to remove the sole power of the President of Nigeria to appoint the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Instead, it directs that the appointment authority be vested in the National Judicial Council (NJC) or a multistakeholder committee that includes the NJC. The goal is to reduce executive influence and enhance the independence and credibility of the electoral umpire. The bill has sparked debate: supporters view it as a necessary safeguard for democratic integrity, while critics express concern that shifting this power may replace one form of influence with another.
