Ahead of the poll, Legit.ng in this piece presents important facts to know about the electoral process in Nigeria's commercial capital.

Though many parties will be participating in the elections, the main contest is between the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Since Nigeria's return to democracy in 1999, the PDP has not been able to win any governorship election in Lagos. The party's performance in the LGA elections will determine if it can change the narrative in 2023.

The elections will hold in the federal government-recognised 20 local government areas of the state and the 37 Local Council Development Areas.

This implies that the major parties participating in the poll will have 57 chairmanship and vice-chairmanship candidates
