dc.description.abstractThe increase in the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) globally on daily basis has generated a lot of concern among governments of the different countries concerned. In Nigeria, the number of IDPs is on the increase due to insurgency, banditry, conflicts and flooding. The main objective of this study is to examine internal displacement in Nigeria and how it affects the democratic process. The study was anchored on the Democratic Participatory Theory. The study is qualitative and, as a result, utilised the secondary sources of data. It was found that factors like armed conflicts and natural disasters were responsible for internal displacements in Nigeria. It was also revealed that internal displacements affect the electoral process in such areas like voting and lack of opportunity to make informed choices. The paper concludes that internal displacement is an unpleasant situation that impacts negatively on the electoral process in Nigeria. It recommends that leaders at different levels in Nigeria should stop promoting conflicts among different ethnic groups in the country so as to ameliorate the menace of internal displacement.
