2027 elections

Nigeria's National Assembly advanced the Electoral Act Amendment Bill despite fierce opposition, retaining manual backup for result transmission and reducing election notice periods to 300 days, triggering walkouts and street protests ahead of the 2027 elections.

Governor Abba Yusuf has justified his switch from NNPP to APC as necessary for Kano's development, while Labour Party in Oyo State dismisses reports of internal divisions ahead of 2027 elections.

Both chambers of Nigeria's National Assembly approved the Electoral Act Amendment Bill following heated debates over electronic transmission of results, with opposition lawmakers staging walkouts and former presidential candidate Peter Obi condemning the use of teargas against protesters.

The House of Representatives descended into chaos as members overwhelmingly rejected a motion to rescind their earlier approval of real-time electronic transmission of election results, forcing the chamber into closed-door deliberations.

Former presidential candidate Peter Obi has officially confirmed his intention to contest the 2027 elections, calling for national unity as Nigeria's ruling APC expands its dominance with governors defecting and INEC releasing the electoral timetable.

Peter Obi has launched 'Operation Rescue Nigeria' to mobilize citizens ahead of the 2027 elections, while opposition PDP lawmakers in Osun State break ranks to endorse President Tinubu's re-election bid.

Women's coalition intensifies pressure on National Assembly to pass reserved seats legislation before 2027 elections, as President Tinubu prepares for state visit and Sokoto targets cross-border polio vaccination campaign.
