Are women truly represented in Nigeria's 2027 presidential race? While 18 candidates are vying for the top job, a stark reality emerges: only two are women, making up a mere 11.1% of the presidential field.

The picture at the vice presidential level offers a slightly brighter, yet still limited, view with four women making the list. This means that across both presidential and vice presidential tickets, a total of only six out of 36 candidates are women.

As Nigeria marches towards the 2027 elections, the numbers paint a clear picture. Women are undoubtedly part of the political conversation, but their presence at the highest levels of leadership remains a significant minority. This analysis dives into the gender gap in Nigeria's upcoming presidential election.
