- Description
- Yinka examines the long-standing debate over Nigerian voters' reluctance to elect women, using new data from Invictus Africa's Voters' Preference Survey across 102 senatorial districts. The study explores historical voter preferences, examining if ballot exclusion has shaped perceptions. While voters are increasingly willing to support female candidates, they prioritise competence, credibility, and proven leadership. Yinka also notes a decline in support for women in higher political offices, prompting questions about representation, party structures, and access to top positions. The central inquiry is whether voter choice or systemic barriers truly impede women's political advancement.
