The Economist Intelligence Unit expects the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Goodluck Jonathan, to be re-elected at the February 2015 elections. However, the elections will be keenly contested.
Even beyond the election period, Nigeria's traditionally fractious political scene will remain a source of instability, as will ethnic and religious faultlines and the ongoing security threat from terrorist groups such as Boko Haram.
