BREAKING: Former Electoral Commission Chairman Humphrey Nwosu dies at 83
Professor Humphrey Nwosu, Chairman of the then National Electoral Commission (NEC) from 1989 to 1993, has died.
The commission has now transformed into the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Prof Nwosu died at a hospital in Virginia, USA, at the age of 83.
Born on October 2, 1941, Nwosu was appointed by the then military ruler, General Ibrahim Babangida, and oversaw the June 12, 1993 election, widely regarded as Nigeria’s freest and fairest.
In that presidential election, Chief Moshood Abiola of the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP) triumphed over Bashir Tofa of the defunct National Republican Convention (NRC).
Nwosu’s commission introduced the innovative Option A4 voting system and the Open Ballot system.
