THE African Democratic Congress (ADC) Global Campus and Transformation Center led by Senator David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola has written the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ,Prof Joash Amupitan to resign or face unprecedented lawful constitutional mechanism and coordinated civil to ease him out .

The duo in a letter entitled : “demand for your immediate resignation or removal from over partisan conduct , gross misconduct,constitutional breach and threat to democracy ” dated April 8, 2026 ; said the integrity of Nigeria’s democracy cannot and will not be sacrificed on the alter of institutional compromise .

The letter signed by Mark and Aregbesola condemed the actions of the INEC chairman ,his public statements which according to the duo have created deepened concerns about INEC chairman’s fitness to hold his current office .

The letter states: “We write to convey our strongest condemnation of your recent actions and public statements, which have further deepened concerns about your fitness to continue in office as Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Your recent media interview was not only disgraceful and unbecoming of the high office you occupy but it also exposed a troubling willingness to descend into partisan controversy and to assume roles far outside the constitutional mandate of the Commission.
Of grave concern is your attempt to constitute yourself into an interpreter of judicial pronouncements.
“This is wholly unacceptable. The interpretation of court judgments is the exclusive preserve of the judiciary. For the Chairman of INEC to publicly assume that role, offering partisan constructions of legal outcomes in a manner that appears to favour a particular individual, amounts to a serious constitutional breach and an affront to the doctrine of separation of powers.
Your conduct, taken together with INEC’s earlier correspondence to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), reinforces the perception that the Commission under your leadership has abandoned neutrality and has instead aligned itself with factional interests. This is not only improper; it is dangerous for the credibility of our electoral system.

“Furthermore, it is a matter of record that the individual in question attended the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the ADC at which the National Working Committee (NWC) led by Chief Ralph Nwosu, of which he was a member, was duly dissolved. Having participated in that decision, any subsequent reliance on his former authority, position, or signature is fundamentally flawed, contradictory, and devoid of legal credibility.
INEC’s posture in this regard raises serious questions about bias and institutional overreach.”
