Nigeria Ranks Eighth-Lowest in African Survey on Free and Fair Elections
An Afrobarometer survey cited by StatiSense places Nigeria eighth among African countries with the lowest public confidence in free and fair elections. Only 43% of respondents rated Nigerian elections as free and fair, below the 38-country average of 57%. Gabon recorded the lowest rating at 10%, followed by Comoros at 24%, Mozambique and Congo-Brazzaville at 29% each, and Angola at 32%. Cameroon, Guinea, Malawi, Mauritania, Morocco and South Africa also appeared on the list. What practical reforms can strengthen electoral integrity in Nigeria?
