Elections in Nigeria have long been undermined by ballot box snatching, vote buying, result manipulation, and violence — and most incidents go unreported, leaving perpetrators unaccountable. That has to change.
With the Electoral Act 2026 now in force, citizens have stronger legal backing to demand that elections are free, fair, and transparent. But the law only works if citizens show up to enforce it.
Winning elections is one thing. Holding elected officials accountable for the next four years is another. Every promise made on the campaign trail — on security, water, infrastructure, education — is a commitment that must be tracked and demanded.
