What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Joash Amupitan, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, explained the change in youth representation in the voter register during a campus debate finale in Nigeria. He stated that the current register puts youth representation at 29.79 per cent, down from 39.65 per cent in the 2023 register. Amupitan attributed the reduction not to decreased interest, but to the progressive migration of individuals from the youth category into older age groups.
