Nigeria held her general elections on Saturday, February 25, 2023, for Presidential and National Assembly seats. Elections for 28 of the 36 governorships and State Houses of Assembly will follow on Saturday, March 11.
The elections mark 24 years of uninterrupted democracy—the longest span in Nigeria’s history. They will serve as a critical transfer of power, as President Muhammadu Buhari has served two mandates and is ineligible to seek another four-year term.
