The 2027 National Assembly candidate list offers a snapshot of women’s political representation before Nigerians head to the polls.
With 469 women among 4,863 candidates contesting for seats in the Senate and House of Representatives, the figures raise questions about women’s visibility in the electoral process and who gets the opportunity to represent Nigerians.
How does this representation vary across the two chambers?

POLITICAL PARTY REGISTRATION: WHAT HAS CHANGED?
The Electoral Act 2026 introduces new registration rules, including a ₦50 million administrative fee and stronger INEC verification powers.
