Results From Nigeria's Election Give Buhari A Narrow Lead Over The Incumbent by liljboy(m): 3:06pm On Mar 31, 2015 |
With more than half of Nigeria's 36 states declared, Gen Buhari's All Progressives Congress (APC) is ahead by half a million votes. A victory for Gen Buhari would make President Jonathan the first incumbent to lose an election in Nigeria. Correspondents say it is likely the loser will allege foul play. More than 800 people were killed in protests after Mr Jonathan beat Gen Buhari in the previous election. Results so far: Gen Buhari: 10,454,137 votes; Passed 25% threshold in 16 states Mr Jonathan: 9,953,432 votes; Passed 25% threshold in 20 states Results from 25 states + Abuja Candidates needs 25% in 24 states for first-round victory Live election updates: Gen Buhari's lead was cut from two million votes, after Mr Jonathan gained a landslide in Rivers State, where there have been widespread reports of irregularities and a curfew imposed. Electoral commission (Inec) chairman, Attahiru Jega, said the fact-finding team sent to the state found there were some voting irregularities with the poll but not enough "to warrant a cancellation of the election". However, many of the states still to declare are in the north, where Gen Buhari is seen as favourite. Earlier, the announcement of results was disrupted when an agent of Mr Jonathan's People's Democratic Party (PDP) launched a tirade against Mr Jega in Abuja. "We have lost confidence in what you're doing, we don't believe in you any more," Elder Orubebe said. Rejecting the allegation, Mr Jega replied: "Let us be careful about what we say or do and let us not dispute a process that has begun peacefully." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-32125861 |
