Info links for elections 2023

INEC Nigeria: List of candidates for 2023 General Elections 

Here are the Presidential Candidates and their parties (pdf file) also see the Senatorial and House of Reps candidates.  Election day is Saturday 25th February 2023.  
Know before you vote.   

Governorship and State House of Assembly elections are scheduled for March 11th 2023.  The candidates represent 18 (EIGHTEEN) political parties.  
STATE ELECTIONS 2023, CANDIDATE LISTS (pdf)

On election day, you need to take yourself and your PVC (Identification Card called the Permanent Voter's Card) to your designated polling unit, prepared to follow the Election Procedure.  

The ballot papers will have many party logos and empty boxes next to them.  
logo examples: 
some party logos in 2023

ballot sheets in pictures: 
this is just an example, not the real 2023 ballot paper


Just carefully use your finger with ink to mark your choice.  Carefully.  


An example of voting for LP is here.  


As you can see, the candidate names/pics won't be on the ballot paper, you will have just the party acronym and logo and the empty space for your fingerprint/thumbprint, so you have to know what you're doing.   

On the day of the national elections, you will have a ballot paper to vote for President, you will have a ballot paper to make your choice for Senate, and another ballot paper to vote for a Representative - that's three ballot papers - so you have to know what you're doing.  

Do well o!

From #change to #reform

The Guardian interviews rAPC (Reformed, APC) politician.  If APC can say such, what if an opposition party should talk?

Anyway, there are many sides to the story, and the Presidency's people wrote very well about their own side:

A New Kind of Politics

MDP is one of OUR youth parties.  Click to see more.




ANN is one of our parties, click to learn more 




Let us support more young youths and more female candidates.  We want to learn from the youths that have already pushed forward in the Nigerian public space, so that by next time, the government we vote in will be a government of emancipation.
No time for nonsense.
This one that we're waiting for somebody to announce something somewhere 

Another thing, don't criticize.
Get your PVC.  You've done that.
Enter a race.  Yes, if you don't like the way things are, you get in there too and try to create something better.  As we have seen in this election, we are #NotTooYoungToRun.   Now I need to see more female candidates oooooo.  oooooooooooooo.  ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.  More female candidates.


There are many ways to help sha, not only by running.  Click on the New Establishment links and find people to connect with...

Spy Story - Lagos 2014

There was a political gathering - this I know because an inexplicable number of new or newish cars of various makes and colours (Kia, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai) were parked in a neat row on the street; a few had party flags/logos inside.  Minor election, obviously.  For a major election, the cars would be black SUVs.  With armed police escorts and bulletproofing and no chance of seeing what's inside.  Anyway... 

There were spies - this I SUSPECT because across the street from the cars, I passed two youngsters fiddling with a contraption of metal and dials.  I couldn't look long enough to be sure; maybe it was safer to mind my business.

Will elections be decided by public vote on issues and manifestos, or by the ground tactics of a few operatives?
