The 2023 Nigerian General Elections were held on February 25, 2023, to elect the President and members of the National Assembly. This election was significant as it marked the first time in Nigeria's history that a major third-party candidate, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, gained substantial traction against the traditional parties, All Progressives Congress and People's Democratic Party. The elections were characterized by a high voter turnout and widespread participation, reflecting the citizens' desire for change. However, the process faced challenges, including reports of violence and logistical issues, which raised concerns about the integrity of the electoral system.
