Campaign Watch. Separating the noise from fact.

Campaign posters for Nigeria's 2027 general election lining a street wall

Elections are shaped long before ballot day, by money, media dominance, and conduct on the trail, yet almost none of it is tracked in the open. Campaign Watch monitors every registered party and leading figure nationwide, turning verifiable news coverage into a live picture of who is visible, where, and at what risk to democratic conduct.

About this data
  • Verifiable, but provisional. Every item links to its original publisher. Coverage is the 2027 general election, national. Data is provisional and updated twice daily.
  • Automated labels are signals, not findings. Tone, topic and conduct labels are automated and layered on the source for aggregation. Conduct-flagged items await human review before being treated as findings.
  • The state map reflects media naming, not ground activity. Only items that name a state are mapped, so it shows where coverage points, not total campaign activity. Geo-tagged field-observer reports will make it a true activity map.
  • Battleground states are drawn on a 2023 presidential-margin basis and are an editorial definition, open to revision.
