Nigeria's main opposition parties have called for a revote of the 2023 presidential election, citing widespread violence, rigging, intimidation of voters, and doctoring of results. They have urged the international community to intervene and the Nigerian government to take steps to ensure a free and fair election, which has been widely criticized by international observers. Partial results from the election show an early lead for the ruling party, but the opposition parties have decried the results as "heavily doctored and manipulated."
