A campaign account from inside Nigerian politics

Ayisha Osori recounts her 2015 bid for the People’s Democratic Party’s ticket to contest a seat in Nigeria’s House of Representatives—and her defeat. The campaign provides the book’s organizing frame for an account of Nigeria’s primary process and the wider questions of political leadership and civic participation. Osori’s background as a writer, lawyer, and social-justice advocate situates this personal political narrative within her public work.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in women’s participation in politics
  • Those seeking a first-person account of Nigerian electoral politics
  • Readers interested in political leadership and civic participation
