Cevap
The correct chronological sequence is: Promulgation of the Clifford Constitution (1922) → Formation of the Nigerian National Democratic Party (early 1923) → Conduct of Nigeria's first legislative elections in Lagos and Calabar (September 1923) → Introduction of the Richards Constitution (1946).
The sequence follows the natural historical progression of Nigeria's constitutional development under Sir Hugh Clifford: first, the constitution was promulgated in 1922 establishing the elective principle; second, political parties such as the NNDP were formed in early 1923 to contest elections; third, the first elections were held in September 1923; and finally, this constitutional era ended with the introduction of the Richards Constitution in 1946.
