Nigeria has a multi-party system, with two or three strong parties and a third party that is electorally successful.

We have gathered a list of Nigerian political parties from 1960 till date. But first here is a a definition of multi-party system.

A multi-party system is a system in which multiple political parties across the political spectrum run for national election, and all have the capacity to gain control of government offices, separately or in coalition. Multi-party systems tend to be more common in parliamentary systems than presidential systems, and far more common in countries that use proportional representation like Nigeria.
