    The next Nigerian Presidential election is scheduled to be held on February 25, 2023. Incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is term-limited and will not seek reelection.

    As of June 2023, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has nominated Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President (1999-2007), as its candidate. The incumbent APC has nominated APC Leader and former Lagos State Governor (1999-2007) Bola Tinubu. After loosing the PDP nomination, Peter Obi has become the Labor Party's candidate. Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria People Party is the fourth major candidate.

    To win a Nigerian election in the first round when there are more than two candidates the victor needs the most votes and at least 25% of the vote in 24 of 36 states.
