With the largest population in Africa at 213 million and over 90 million registered voters this is a highly anticipated election and also a very unpredictable election as the two traditional parties face not one but two disrupter parties. Indeed, in addition to the rulling All Progressive Congress (APC) fielding Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the main opposition Peoples Democratic Congress (PDP) fielding Atiku Abubakar the disruptors are the Labour Party led by Peter Obi and the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) candidate Rabiu Kwankwaso.

At least 90 people died due to armed conflict in May according to the Kivu Security Tracker. Additionally, 3 UN peacekeepers were among dozens killed in late July amid protests against the UN peacekeeping force in the region.  There are hundreds of armed groups in this region but the M23 armed group has seen the biggest gains in a decade and has caused a huge diplomatic spat between the  DRC and neighbouring Rwanda.  Each side is accusing each other of supporting an ethnic based rebel group and so far two African peace processes are in operation but will there actually be peace ?  Kivu Security Tracker | Crisis Mapping in Eastern Congo Music: Migrant des rêves - Fally Ipupa ft.
