Nigeria’s opposition parties have succeeded in building a coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections, but attention is now shifting to how the alliance will choose its candidates and structure its campaign.
The coalition brings together politicians and groups seeking to challenge the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next presidential election.
However, the major task before the opposition is deciding who will lead the coalition and how political interests among its various members will be managed.
With the 2027 election approaching, the ability of the opposition parties to remain united could determine whether the coalition becomes a serious challenge to the APC.
The development has also increased political discussions over possible presidential candidates and the distribution of positions among the parties involved.
