ANALYZING THE POLITICAL IMPACT OF THE ENDBADGOVERNANCE PROTESTS ON UPCOMING ELECTIONS IN NIGERIA
Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The EndBadGovernance protests in Nigeria, which began in July 2024, represented a major public outcry against economic mismanagement, high inflation, and rising fuel prices. The scale and intensity of the protests underscored widespread dissatisfaction with the current government and highlighted the urgent need for political and economic reforms. As Nigeria approaches its upcoming elections, the protests are expected to have significant implications for the electoral landscape. Nigeria's political environment is characterized by intense competition among various political parties and candidates. The EndBadGovernance protests have intensified public scrutiny of political leaders and their policies, potentially influencing voter behavior and electoral outcomes. The protests have also raised questions about governance, policy effectiveness, and the capacity of political leaders to address public grievances.
Protests can alter political dynamics by shifting public opinion, affecting party strategies, and influencing voter mobilization. Analyzing the impact of the EndBadGovernance protests on upcoming elections involves understanding how these events shape voter perceptions, party strategies, and overall electoral prospects. This study focuses on assessing the political impact of the EndBadGovernance protests on Nigeria's upcoming elections. It aims to evaluate how the protests have influenced voter sentiment, political strategies, and election outcomes.

The study aims to provide insights into these dynamics, offering a clearer picture of how political unrest can shape electoral outcomes and what implications this may have for Nigeria's political future.
