hours. local news, 18 candidates are running for the presidency, but only 3 are seen as having a realistic chance of winning. also up for election or hundreds of seats in parliament. in this hotly contested election, voters only know one thing for certain. no matter who wins the challenges ahead will not be easy. mamma, jim drama, jazeera, a boucher, let's take a look at the main contenders for the presidency, but to new is the ruling party candidates. he is privacy served as a governor of lagos, and he to rebecca, is one of nigerian richest businessmen. he served as vice president and was a presidential candidate for his people's democratic party in 2019. another front runner is at peter o. b of the labor party, a $61.00 he is the youngest of the 3 main candidates, has a big falling amongst the youth and searched in opinion polls and the lead up to saturdays vote. nisha, sorry, is a director of the executive vice president's office sat,

the open society foundations. she explains what's at stake in elections. people want something different and on the back of the n sounds protest in 2020 young people for the 1st time just sort of said, you know what with tired of the state of school and so leading up to the election the primary last year, peter will be moved from p p to the labor party and to be honest, i don't think he would have expected this type of energy around him. but really what's going on with the elections 20 in the election is a referendum on the last 24 years. and how p b p and a p c has managed nigeria, the young people, they have weld the election so far an obedient campaign. if you look at the, the breakdown of the people with their pvc than people who registered with you know, we had like least 20 new 20000000 new registers added to the registrar between 9 the 2923 next. and they just thought it will be a cake walk, you know, an incumbent party when that's the a p c, p. people. ok. we've been in power for 16 years. we will build on what we've had

and didn't see will be coming out of left field. i don't think it will be understand the appeal that he has, people asked why not any of the other 71614 other people. and i think then you'd say it's because p, toby's assessable. because as a governor of a number he, he was kind of person who would carry on bags. he it is he didn't travel by private said he's a sensible to the regular nigeria. and in the way that the big men of nigeria, the tina booth, because i'm not, we can find them on a flight which is not something you find with the others. so if that assess ability and then he definitely also had in a way he's like from the east, which is ironic. why we came on this very strong with the patient of integrity, will be have something similar. the big win is that clearly the young people have shown that when they put their back behind a particular candidate, they can push that person as far as possible. the

french president to my own aqona says he'll travel to china and just over to discuss the war and ukraine on friday. china released a pace proposal. beijing is, according for an end to western sanctions on russia. the surgeon moscow keys the whole tort. aqona says it's important for china to put pressure on russia to end of war and withdraw from ukraine. we've seen that president alexander lucas shanker has also announced he'll visit asian in the coming days. better roost is one of the rushes closest allies last year minced, allowed the credit in to use its territory to launch attacks on ukraine. let's take a closer look at china's piece proposal. now, if all those talks between the top a chinese diplomat, one year and russian president vladimir putin, measuring his clothing for an end to western sanctions in russia and urging moscow and keys to hold talks of proposal, calls the stablish friends of humanitarian corridors for civilians. and steps to ensure grain that can be safely exported from ukraine. also warns against the use

of nuclear weapons in the conflict. as one has a tax on nuclear power plants. when the market is a senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization think tank, he says, piece in ukraine is in the best interests of china and the why the international community. i think china ah, as a major economy, one of the largest, the colonies in the world, certainly benefits awe from an end hostilities. of course, ah, this will improve global sentiment, economic prosperity put the world back on a path to economic prosperity, mis benefits. all countries, especially larger countries like i and i think that's one us certainly i think from a reputation prestige perspective are playing a role in ah, bringing this conflict to a close by when no other major power has been able to do so. are certainly, ah, i think would burnish china's reputation of we also have to recognize that there's

only so much an honest broker can do. and sometimes, and we both sides have to fight to a certain amount of exhaustion before either can be negotiated, settlement and whether we're at this point yet or not, i think remains to be seen. most high stakes negotiations or settlements, leave both sides unhappy. that's just the nature of the beast, and i think ukraine, ah, it's supporters in the west are certainly articulating and opening stance that they may end up with it. you never know, but we have to see. but generally speaking, i think these kinds of negotiated settlements require a significant compromise on both sides in order for them to be achieved and be durable. the last year of fighting russia has expanded its partial control of some regions of eastern ukraine in red, access to the part of the network that's been under russian control. since 2014 al
