INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan says the results of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections will not be decided in advance. He assures voters that INEC is committed to holding transparent, free and credible elections, and that the process will not produce predetermined outcomes.

The reports also describe INEC’s preparations ahead of the polls, including cooperation with the Nigeria Police Force to identify and arrest people suspected of carrying out pre-election violence. The outlets link these actions to concerns in states affected by insecurity, where authorities seek to prevent disruptions before election day.

Vanguard and Daily Post Nigeria both highlight Amupitan’s position on non-predetermined results and INEC’s security coordination. Vanguard further adds that pending primary litigations will not stop the elections, framing INEC’s stance on how the electoral process continues despite legal challenges.
