Presidential elections are scheduled to be held in Nigeria on January 16, 2027. This market will resolve according to the listed candidate who wins the 2027 Nigerian presidential election. This market includes any potential second round. If the results are not known definitively by October 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". This market will resolve based on the results of this election, as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on official results as reported by Nigerian government sources, including the Independent National Electoral Commission (https://www.inecnigeria.org/).Bola Tinubu holds the strongest position in the 2027 Nigerian presidential race as the APC incumbent, with traders assigning him the highest probability amid confirmed structural advantages. The Independent National Electoral Commission published its final list of 18 candidates on September 12, 2026, following party primaries, placing Tinubu alongside challengers including Peter Obi on the NDC ticket, Atiku Abubakar on the ADC ticket with Rotimi Amaechi, and several minor-party contenders. APC control of 31 states and a National Assembly majority, combined with a divided opposition that splits anti-incumbent votes across multiple platforms, underpins the current pricing. Projections from recent analyses highlight Tinubu’s edge in key regions, while the January 16, 2027, election date leaves room for shifts from coalition efforts or turnout patterns before resolution.
