primary election

A primary election is a preliminary voting process in which members of a political party select their candidates for an upcoming general election. Primaries can be “open” (any registered voter may participate), “closed” (only registered party members may vote), or “semi‑open/closed” variations, and they may be conducted as a single‑winner contest or a proportional caucus. The winners become the party’s nominees for offices such as president, governor, or legislative seats. Views Nigeria
