INTRA AND INTER PARTY POST-ELECTION CRISIS MANAGEMENT: An X-Ray of the Nigerian Political Landscape

The analysis in this paper focuses on intra and inter-party electoral crisis/feud management in pluralistic polities of the world. While we specifically focused on the Nigerian political landscape we, where applicable, engaged in a synoptic juxta-positional analysis of the experiences of other pluralistic democracies notably the United States of America and India. The analysis choreographed the Nigerian nation's political dilemmas in the context of various developments within it right from the colonial period to date and identified what is considered relevant and necessary to be done to rid Nigerian nation of her present political dilemmas.
