2027: Opposition parties begin talks on single candidate

A coalition of opposition political parties and stakeholders under the G-100 platform has announced plans to convene a unity summit in Abuja on August 18, 2026, ahead of the 2027 general elections. The summit aims to foster greater unity among Nigeria's opposition parties by discussing modalities for greater political cooperation.

The G-100 emphasized that the summit would not impose any specific outcome on the parties but would facilitate dialogue and help build confidence among the various political interests. The group stressed that any agreement reached by the opposition parties must consider the legitimate interests of the various political organizations while prioritizing the broader interests of Nigerians above individual or partisan ambitions.
