1. Introduction -- 2. Theoretical and Structural Issues in Nigerian Politics -- 3. Continuity and Change in Nigeria's Electoral Democracy -- 4. Party System and the Dominance of the People's Democratic Party, 1999-2015 -- 5. Trends in Voter Behaviour, 1999-2015 -- 6. Trends in Election Outcomes, 1999-2015 -- 7. Democratic Governance and Political Accountability, 1999-2014 -- 8. Electoral Reform and Electoral Administration, 1999-2015 -- 9. Party Politics in the 2015 Nigerian Elections -- 10. The 2015 Presidential Election -- 11. The 2015 National Assembly Election -- 12. The 2015 Gubernatorial Election -- 13. Conclusion: The 2015 Elections and the Future of Electoral Democracy.

This book examines the significance of the 2015 elections in consolidating Nigeria's democracy, in the context of the difficulty of routinizing democracy since the attainment of nationhood in 1960 and the return to civil rule in May 1999, in particular. It offers a complete analysis of Nigeria's electoral process, outlining how the dynamics of limited changes in the constitutional, institutional, attitudinal and behavioural frameworks that underpin electoral competition played out in the elections. The authors further examine the conduct and outcome of the 2015 elections against the background of the pattern of electoralism that had been established since the return to democracy in 1999. In doing so, they draw attention to the dialectics of continuity and change that have been thrown up by the elections and how the lessons learned can be used to build a more enduring democratic system. The book will be of interest to students and academics of political science, development studies, democratisation and election studies, and African government and politics.
