This series of articles focusing on the 2023 general elections in Nigeria stems from an initiative launched in 2022 by Dr Barbara Morovich, IFRA-Nigeria director, and Dr Cyrielle Maingraud-Martinaud: the Elections Observatory. Through it Nigerian researchers documented the concrete organization and experiences of elections in Nigeria. By choosing a variety of locations and foci from which to examine the 2023 elections, the articles that follow offer a view “from the inside” and from a local perspective in South-Western Nigerian localities and states. Adedeji Adebayo examines the strategies used by political parties to mobilize voters, both in political party secretariats and at polling stations in Ikere, a Local Government Area in Ekiti state. Working on the Iwajowa Local Government border area, Oyo State, Okechukwu Livingstone Ikefuama investigated how local conceptions of belonging, sometimes instrumentalized by candidates and political parties, can influence political participation to the extent of including non-Nigerian citizens in the electorate. Finally, Olasupo Olakunle Thompson studied the role played by central actors of the electoral process: the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ad-hoc collation officers in Abeokuta, Ogun State. Dr Sa’eed Husaini and Dr Delphine Manetta, are the coordinators of this Working Paper n°60.
