May Agbamuche Takes Over As Acting INEC Chairman From Mahmood Yakubu

Professor Mahmood Yakubu has transferred his responsibilities as Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to May Agbamuche, who now serves as the Acting National Chairman.

Agbamuche, the oldest serving National Commissioner at INEC, formally assumed the role on Tuesday during a meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.

Announcing the handover, Yakubu urged commissioners and directors to give their full cooperation and support to Agbamuche as she leads the commission until a substantive chairman is appointed.
