The 2023 Yobe State House of Assembly election took place on 18 March 2023, to elect members of the Yobe State House of Assembly. The election was held concurrent with the state gubernatorial election as well as twenty-seven other gubernatorial elections and elections to all other state houses of assembly.[1][2] It was held three weeks after the presidential election and National Assembly elections.

Electoral system[edit]

The members of state Houses of Assembly are elected using first-past-the-post voting in single-member constituencies.

Background[edit]

In the previous House of Assembly elections, the APC won a sizeable majority that elected Ahmed Lawan Mirwa (APC-Nguru II) as Speaker. In other Yobe elections, incumbent APC Governor Mai Mala Buni won in a landslide as the APC swept every House of Representatives and Senate seat along with Buhari winning the state in a landslide.
