The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Joash Amupitan, has said the commission will be bound by court’s decision on whether former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar can contest the 2027 presidential election.
Amupitan stated this on Thursday while speaking at Chatham House in London, in response to a question on whether Atiku would be eligible to stand in the election if he failed to overturn the court judgment affecting the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The INEC chairman said he was constitutionally obligated to obey court orders, particularly decisions of the Supreme Court, regardless of the political implications.
