2007 Nigerian Parliamentary Election
21 April 2007 · The Fourth Republic · 360 seats
Umaru Yar'Adua of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) won the highly controversial presidential election, and was sworn in on 29 May. Election observers from the European Union described the elections as "the worst they had ever seen anywhere in the world", with "rampant vote rigging, violence, theft of ballot boxes and intimidation.".
Condemned by domestic and international observers as deeply flawed, with ballot-box stuffing and falsified returns; the winner himself acknowledged the process was defective.
