About Nigeria Presidential Election 2027

Nigeria elects its president, Senate and House of Representatives together every four years. The president is elected for a four-year term.

INEC first fixed the presidential election for February 20, 2027. On February 26, 2026, it released a revised timetable moving it to January 16, 2027, to comply with the new Electoral Act 2026. Governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections moved from March 6 to February 6, 2027.

This countdown uses 00:00 UTC on January 16, 2027 as a placeholder time, because polling hours have not been confirmed here. Campaigns for the presidential election began on August 19, 2026.
