While the country is in a deep economic, social and security crisis, which has largely increased over the past 18 months, expectations one these elections and their capacity to bring change are tremendous.

The emergence of a third force, represented by the Labor Party and the figure of Peter Obi, does not seem to affect the expected confrontation between the presidential candidates of the two major parties: Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All-Progressive Congress Party and Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party.

There is no doubt that the newly elected representatives will have to face multiple challenges: population growth, insecurity, massive oil theft and high inflation.

The meeting is organized by IFRI and IFRA-Nigeria, it will review the electoral process and the result of the elections while replacing them in historical dynamics and structural difficulties of the country.
