Abstract

In this paper, the concept of Nash Equilibrium will be used to examine the Political Competition between Major Political Parties in 2023 Presidential Election. An x-ray of the Mathematical Analysis of the Possibility of Zero Political Competition between Major Political Parties in Nigeria using Nash Equilibrium will be discussed using 2023 Presidential Election as a major focus. The essence of a successful credible election devoid of rancor and post-election violence cannot be under-estimated as it guarantees the citizens the right to enjoy the dividend of democracy and creates a platform for a peaceful transition from one democratic dispensation to another. Data collection that aided this work was sourced through previous works, interviews, and from the website of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the electoral umpire that has the responsibility of conducting elections in Nigeria.
