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."

Jega and his people should just announce APC
and PDP, other parties can check their result on
Linda Ikeji blog or INEC notice board and stop
wasting our time, we are burning diesel and
petrol to watch this faa.
Who is with me on this?
