The Elections of 2019-You Decide: Nigeria Presidential

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

PLEASE NOTE: I ONLY INCLUDED THE CANDIDATES WHO HAVE POLITICAL PARTY PAGES ON WIKIPEDIA. THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER CANDIDATES WHO HAVE NO PAGE OF THEIR OWN, OR AREN'T EVEN ACTIVELY RUNNING ANYMORE. IDEOLOGY IS SIMPLY FROM THE PARTIES, AND MAY NOT BE COMPLETELY ACCURATE WITH EACH CANDIDATE'S VIEWS. SOME PARTIES HAVE MULTIPLE PEOPLE RUNNING. I AM ONLY INCLUDING ONE CANDIDATE PER PARTY.

Also note: I am going to be making the legislative results myself based on the presidential results, as good old FPTP makes it hard for this. The results will be vaguely proportional, but may vary quite a lot from the presidential.

Candidates in alphabetical order:
Fmr. Vice President Atiku Abubakar (People's Democratic Party): National conservatism, Social conservatism, Economic liberalism, center-right
President Muhammadu Buhari (All Progressive Congress):    Federalism, Progressivism, Social liberalism, Social democracy, center-left
Fmr. Governor Donald Duke (Social Democratic Party): Social democracy, Democratic socialism, Socialism, Social justice, center-left to left-wing
Mr. Fela Durotoye (Alliance for New Nigeria): "Technoticianism"
Mr. Tope Fasua (Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party): Constructive pragmatism

Buhari. Neither Durotoye nor Fasua are running real campaigns, and Duke is barely running one either. Nigeria effectively has a two-party system and Wikipedia is a bad source for which minor party candidates approach relevance.

Yeah, should have made that more obvious, but this is supposed to be a more free-form atlas decision thing, not anyone else.

Despite all expectations, President Buhari is shut out of a second round

The campaign for President was contentious and surprising. A number of progressives defected to Duke, who ran an amazing campaign, despite his party being a minor one. When election day came around, it was expected the duopoly would survive, but that was not the case.

Fmr. Gov. Donald Duke (SDP): 31.58%
Fmr. Vice President Atiku Abubakar (PDP): 26.32%
President Muhammadu Buhari (APC): 21.05%
Mr. Tope Fasua (ANRP): 15.79%
Mr. Fela Durotoye (ANN): 5.26%
