Nigerian House of Representatives Raises Campaign Spending Limits for 2027 Elections

The Nigerian House of Representatives has approved a substantial increase in campaign spending limits for the 2027 elections. Presidential candidates can now spend up to ₦10 billion, doubling the previous limit.

The amendments also include raising the spending limits for governorship, senatorial, and other candidates. The changes aim to align with the current economic reality and address the rising costs of political campaigns.

This move is part of broader legislative efforts to strengthen Nigeria's electoral framework ahead of the 2027 general elections.
