Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), says the commission will soon issue new regulations to provide clarity on Section 65 of the Electoral Act 2022, amid growing concerns over its interpretation. Speaking on Tuesday, July 1, during a consultative meeting with resident electoral commissioners (RECs) at the INEC headquarters in Abuja, Yakubu said the commission is aware of the multiple meanings being ascribed to the section, which grants INEC the power to review election results declared under questionable conditions. “As we approach the bye-elections, the off-cycle governorship elections and ultimately the 2027 general election, the commission is concerned with the various interpretations given to the provision of Section 65 of the Electoral Act 2022 on the review of election results,” Yakubu stated.

The United States' Justice Department is aggressively prioritizing efforts to strip some Americans of their U.S. citizenship. Department leadership is directing its attorneys to prioritize denaturalization in cases involving naturalized citizens who commit certain crimes and giving district attorneys wider discretion on when to pursue this tactic, according to a June 11 memo published online. The move is aimed at U.S. citizens who were not born in the country. According to data from 2023, close to 25 million immigrants were naturalized citizens. At least one person has already been denaturalized in recent weeks. On June 13, a judge ordered the revocation of the citizenship of Elliott Duke, who uses they/them pronouns.
