Summary
Summary may not be accurate; generated by machine learning.
Nigeria is holding historic elections this Saturday, with voters choosing state legislators and governors in a highly contentious and violent context. The election is significant because it marks the first time an elected government will transfer power to another elected one through universal adult suffrage. However, the election has been marred by violence, insecurity, and uncertainty, reflecting the challenges faced by many African countries. With a large number of contenders for each post and over 30 political parties participating, there is a lot at stake in these local elections.
