Political Control of Nigeria’s 774 LGAs Ahead of the 2027 Elections
As preparations for the 2027 general elections gather pace, this breakdown outlines the political parties said to control Nigeria’s 774 local government areas. The figures place the APC in control of 573 LGAs across 27 states. The PDP is listed with 143 LGAs in nine states, while APGA, APM, ZLP and YPP hold smaller numbers of councils. The breakdown presents APC as the dominant party at the local government level. However, local council control does not always translate directly into election victories. Voter turnout, candidates, alliances, court rulings and public opinion could still shape the 2027 outcome. Do you think control of local governments will significantly influence the next general elections?
