How to Read a Manifesto: A Citizen's Guide for Nigeria's 2027 Elections

Every campaign promises jobs, roads and an end to corruption. This guide gives every voter six questions to run any promise through: can it be checked, is it this office's job, what does it cost and who pays, who loses, how will it happen, and where did it come from. Each can be answered from the document itself and public information. It adds a worked example, the red flags to look for, a scoring sheet, how to read the party behind the candidate, and what a manifesto score cannot tell you. It is the method behind our free online Manifesto Scorecard.
