2023 Presidential Election Distribution
A Historic Shift
The 2023 Presidential Election marked a significant departure from the traditional two-party dominance. For the first time since 1999, a third-party candidate, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, garnered over 6 million votes, winning in key states including Lagos and the FCT.
Despite the rise of a third force, voter turnout dropped to a historic low of 26.71%, continuing a downward trend observed since 2003. This dashboard highlights the shifting dynamics of voter engagement and party performance.
