Abstract: The Boko Haram insurgency has taken a toll on life in North East Nigeria. This briefing explores the impact of the conflict on elections, constituency consultation and political representation in affected areas. Using data on parliamentary recess, we estimate federal legislators’ consultation time and argue that the insurgency is a setback for participatory democracy.
