Nigerians Protest UK Parliament, Demand INEC Chairman Removal Ahead of 2027 Elections
Nigerians in the United Kingdom protested at UK Parliament earlier today, demanding removal of INEC Chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan to ensure credible 2027 elections. Organized by Nigerians in Diaspora community, protesters linked electoral integrity to democracy survival, with one stating: 'If we must save our democracy, we need to save it today.'
Simultaneously, African Democratic Congress (ADC) youths have mobilised for protests across Nigeria, with demonstrations scheduled at INEC offices in Lagos, Ogun, and Jigawa States. Participants demand Amupitan's resignation, arguing he would 'bury' Nigeria's electoral prospects without credible reforms.
The protests reflect growing concern over Nigeria's electoral system ahead of 2027 general elections. Diaspora and domestic groups alike are pushing for leadership change at INEC to ensure transparent polls. No specific date was given for the Nigerian demonstrations, but they are described as imminent.
Will you join or support these electoral reform efforts, or do you believe INEC under current leadership can deliver credible 2027 polls?
