# How can Nigeria’s INEC chairman be removed and by who?
The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Nigeria can only be removed from office by the President of Nigeria, with the approval of the Senate. According to Section 157(1) of the Nigerian Constitution, the Chairman and members of the INEC can only be removed from office by the President based on a recommendation of the National Judicial Council (NJC) that they have been found guilty of misconduct, incompetence or incapacity.
It's important to note that the NJC is the only body with the power to recommend the removal of the INEC Chairman and members of the commission, based on its own investigation or findings of a petition against them.
It is also worth noting that the INEC Chairman and members of the commission enjoy a measure of security of tenure and cannot be removed from office without following the due process as enshrined in the constitution.
