Nigeria's political parties face internal disputes, defections, and legal challenges

Nigeria's political landscape is in flux, with parties facing internal disputes, defections to the ADC ahead of the 2027 election, and legal challenges. A court has adjourned a case on the PDP convention indefinitely and barred a governor from seeking re-election in 2028. Political rivals are reportedly uniting against President Tinubu's administration, whom a governor called the election outcome for embarrassing, indicating deep political fragmentation.
