The Ballot Newsletter, Series 2, Issue 5

Welcome to the latest edition of The Ballot, your go-to source for the most significant developments in Nigeria’s political landscape. This edition dives deep into critical issues that shape the future of our democracy, including calls for stronger party structures and internal democracy by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Can political parties truly rise to the challenge of strengthening their foundations for more credible elections, as INEC urges? What will it take for the electoral process to gain the trust of Nigerians, especially with voices like former NTA DG, Prof. Tonnie Iredia, calling for a truly impartial electoral umpire?

In this issue, we also explore the ongoing legal battles, such as the Edo State Election Tribunal’s examination of BVAS devices and the intriguing developments around the PDP’s internal struggles following their 2023 electoral defeat. Meanwhile, civil society groups are pushing for vital reforms, urging INEC and the National Assembly to implement the Uwais report before the 2027 elections. Dive into this issue as we unpack the current state of politics and elections in Nigeria.
