What exactly do Nigerians want to hear before they believe the promises and support any presidential candidate? You tell us!!! Amaechi says he can turn Nigeria around in four years, while Peter Obi says if elected, he will serve only one term and leave. As 2027 conversations continue to heat up, Nigerians are once again listening closely to different visions, promises, and plans for the country. Do you believe? The Ballot has the details and more!

We’re still reliving the impact of the Gen-Z Democratic Innovation Lab. What began as a space filled with doubt and frustration about Nigeria’s democracy has grown into a community of young people ready to carry the message of civic action and democratic participation everywhere they go. From disbelief to action, this is what youth-led change looks like.

Serious question… is party primaries really any different from deciding which meat enters the stew and which one ends up inside soup? Somebody is always selecting what eventually makes it to the table. That’s exactly why party primaries matter. They may seem like “politicians’ business,” but they often determine who eventually gets on the ballot long before election day. So who really decides which candidate emerges, and why should ordinary Nigerians care? Find out all these and more on this episode of Election 101 in 5.

Obi and Kwankwaso have officially switched camps, INEC has opened the final voter registration window ahead of 2027, the Senate is tightening its leadership rules, and ADC’s new nomination fees are already shaking pockets across the country. A real question came from Goodluck Jonathan this week: “You want me to contest, but do you even have your voter card?” So before 2027 starts trending properly… do you have your PVC?
