This week’s episode looks at results from Nigeria’s Presidential Election and last weekend’s parliamentary election in Estonia. Bola Tinubu came out victorious in Nigeria, extending the APC’s rule, but the campaign was dominated by a three-candidate contest and the surge of support for Labour Party candidate Peter Obi. What motivated Bola Tinubu’s victory? What was the driver of Peter Obi’s unlikely candidacy? What role does religion and ethnicity play in Nigerian elections? And amidst the challenges to the results, what is next for Africa’s largest democracy?
As incumbent Prime Minister Kaja Kallas reflects on the big victory for her Reform Party, Sam and Chern also unpack the results from Estonia. What were some of the reasons behind Kallas’s commanding performance? What role did Ukraine policy play in this election? Why did the Conservatives marginally underperform the polls and the Centre Party fall behind? And what will the eventual government look like? All these questions, and more, answered in this week's podcast.
