Nigeria is one of the most populous countries in Africa and has been one of the most politically volatile countries on earth since independence. In 1999, Nigeria returned to civilian rule after 16 years under military rule. Since then, it has been ruled by two political parties: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC). Both parties have traded power at the presidential level with each other over time but there are also other political parties that could become relevant if they were to win power.
The Nigeria incumbent president, Muhammadu Buhari, is currently in his second term, however, Nigerians are already asking who will win the 2023 election.

According to him, no one should stay longer than two terms in office since it would be unfair to other candidates to run against an incumbent president or government official who can use all the resources at their disposal.
The opposition party has already announced that they will field a candidate for the 2023 election and people are looking forward to seeing who would be running on behalf of this party next year.

There are no restrictions on voting or running for office based on gender identity or sexual orientation. This has led to a number of openly LGBT candidates running for public office during elections across Africa, including Nigeria’s 2019 general elections where several LGBT candidates ran for seats throughout Nigeria. In particular, these include Wilfred Ndidi-Ekeremor who ran as an independent candidate representing Lagos State House of Assembly constituency 45; Wilfred Ndidi-Ekeremor has previously served as a co-chairperson of Alliance For Truth Foundation (AFT).
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who was a former Vice President of Nigeria is a stalwart of the PDP and is one of five potential candidates for the PDP in 2023.

The inclusion of a seven-year political experience requirement in the Constitution has made most of these politicians ineligible to contest in the next election. However, there are still ways they can participate in politics without necessarily running for office.
As for the APC there are also five top contenders for their presidential ticket. They include Bola Ahmed Tinubu (National Leader of the APC).
