The 2023 Nigerian presidential election was held on 25 February 2023 to elect the president and vice president of Nigeria. Incumbent APC President Muhammadu Buhari is term-limited and could not seek re-election for a third term. Other federal elections, including elections to the House of Representatives and the Senate, held on the same date while state elections will be held two weeks afterward on 11 March. 
Bola Tinubu—the former Governor of Lagos State and nominee of the All Progressives Congress—won the election with 36.61% of the vote (8,794,726 total votes) over runners-up Atiku Abubakar (Peoples Democratic Party) and Peter Obi (Labour Party); the final nation result was announced on 1 March but was immediately contested by Abubakar and Obi. The inauguration is set for 29 May 2023, the former date of Democracy Day.
Party primaries were conducted between 4 April and 9 June 2022 with the Peoples Democratic Party nominating former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the All Progressives Congress nominated Tinubu,  Labour Party nominated former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi and New Nigeria Peoples Party nominated Governor of Kano State Rabiu Kwankwaso. In the weeks after the primaries, vice presidential running mates were announced with Abubakar choosing Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. Obi selected former Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, Tinubu picked Senator Kashim Shettima and Kwankwaso chose pastor Isaac Idahosa.The general election was noted by initially high projected turnout and mainly peaceful voting but was marred by reports of vote buying, voter intimidation, attacks on polling units in certain areas, and unpunctual electoral officials along with accusations of outright fraud; to compound issues with trust in the election, Independent National Electoral Commission officials failed to upload polling unit results to the INEC Result Viewing Portal as previously assured would happen on Election Day. As state results started to be announced on 26 February at the national collation centre in Abuja, opposition emerged as results data had still not been fully uploaded prior to their announcement in accordance with the law. These circumstances along with statements critical of INEC from observers and civil society groups led the Abubakar, Obi, and Kwankwaso campaigns to question and then officially reject the announced election results by 28 February. All three main opposition campaigns, in addition to some civil society groups and former President Olusegun Obasanjo, called on the commission to rerun the election due to fraud and violence. Meanwhile, the Tinubu campaign praised the commission and called for the arrest of PDP spokesmen for 'incitement of violence.' In the early morning of 1 March, INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu declared Tinubu as the victor after all state results were collated. In response, Abubakar, Obi, and Kwankwaso rejected and vowed to challenge the results.

Other federal elections, including elections to the House of Representatives and the Senate, will also be held on the same date while state elections will be held two weeks afterward on 11 March. The winners of the election will be inaugurated on 29 May 2023, the former date of Democracy Day.
Party primaries were scheduled for between 4 April and 9 June 2022 with the Peoples Democratic Party nominating former Vice President Atiku Abubakar on 28 May while the All Progressives Congress nominated former Governor of Lagos State Bola Tinubu on 8 June. For the less politically represented Labour Party and New Nigeria Peoples Party, former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi was nominated on 30 May and former Governor of Kano State Rabiu Kwankwaso was nominated on 8 June, respectively. In the weeks after the primaries, vice presidential running mates were announced with Abubakar choosing Governor Ifeanyi Okowa on 16 June while his main opponents initially picked placeholder running mates before later substituting in substantive nominees. Obi selected former Senator Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed on 8 July, Tinubu picked Senator Kashim Shettima on 10 July and Kwankwaso chose pastor Isaac Idahosa on 14 July.
