Nigeria's ruling party candidate Bola Tinubu wins most votes in election, results show, while main opposition candidates demand a re-vote and election chief to resign
Presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu arrives at a polling station before casting his ballot in Ikeja, Lagos.
Tinubu, candidate for All Progressives Congress , won 8.8 million votes against 6.9 million for opposition Peoples Democratic Party candidate Atiku Abubakar and 6.1 million for Labour Party's Peter Obi, according to results.With President Muhammadu Buhari stepping down, many Nigerians hoped a clean vote would open the way to a leader able to tackle insecurity, ease economic malaise and manage poverty in the country.
The winning candidate has to garner the most votes nationally, but also score at least 25 percent in two-thirds of the states — a measure reflecting a country split between a mostly Muslim north and widely Christian south, as well as three main ethnic groups.
