The 2023 Nigerian presidential election will be held on 25 February 2023 to elect the President and Vice President. Incumbent APC President Muhammadu Buhari is term-limited and cannot seek re-election to a third term.
The President of Nigeria is elected using a modified two-round system. To be elected in the first round, a candidate must receive a majority of the vote and over 25% of the vote in at least 24 of the 36 states. If no candidate passes this threshold, a second round will be held between the top two candidates.
Two PDP party members, Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, in couple of hours ago, made their intentions known to the general public.
Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has declared his intention to contest the presidency in the 2023 elections, articulating a five-point agenda to turn around the fortunes of Nigeria, if elected.
Also, former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi, Thursday declared interest to contest for 2023 presidential race.
