If a presidential candidate wins the majority of the votes but doesn't have 25% in 24 states, and his closest rival has 25% in 24 states but doesn't win the majority of the votes, what happens?

This is straight forward... The one with 25% in 24 states wins the election

It's not true. There will be Run-off between the two.

In this case, there won't be an rerun

There would be a run off and I know Nigerians especially southwards would be exhausted to be interested.

Atiku may likely have 25% in 24 states with underaged voters in the North.

Olodo. There will be a second ballot between the two of them.

There won't be any rerun in this case. The person who meets the 25% in 24 states wins the election. This shows the president not being a regional personality. Any one who must be president must have the input of other regions

A second ballot is when both parties or candidates don't have the 25% in the 24 states, but are the highest. So, a rerun will be initiated to determine the winner

Obi may likely get high vote and may not get the required 25% in 24 states.

If Atiku and Peter obi denied Tinubu not to win this Saturday and it get to second ballot , Jagaban will not be able to win again because one on one both Atiku and Peter obi can win Jagaban

Shey you don forget kwankwasho he also have upper hand in the north also so the vote will split

it is very possible and that is why Obi has less chance. These race appears to be between PDP and APC. It is very unlikely that Obi will get 24 states at all.

A second ballot is when both parties or candidates don't have the 25% in the 24 states, but are the highest. So, a rerun will be initiated to determine the winner

Stop arguing and go back to your constitution. There are two conditions to be met before a candidate can be returned elected as president. One, he/she must win a simple majority of vote cast. Two, he/she must get at least 25% of total vote cast in 24 states. If no candidate meet these two requirements, a second ballot between the two leading candidates will be conducted and the winner by simple majority will be returned elected.

Then the two should share OBITUARY vote and give us one person since the obituary vote is already a spoiler vote

If you like have 25% in 25 states with the highest voters margin, if you didn't secure 25% in Abuja you won't be declared winner.

Obi is the only one that stands a chance of getting 25% in 24 states…..
None of Apc n pdp will get 25% in any of ss/ se states
So that is minus 11 states already for both Apc n pdp.
Apc will not get 25% in katsina, plateau, benue, taraba, Adamawa,kebbi,sokoto and Abuja….meaning apc won’t get 25% in 18 states plus the fct.
Pdp will not get 25% in Lagos, ogun, oyo, ekiti and ondo….meaning he will get 25% in in only 20%
Las las if po does not win the runoff will be between PO n Atiku

That's true I won't be surprised if Atiku wins , I'm just tired of this hardship, election should just come and go .

We'll continue experiencing the same thing if we don't hold our leaders accountable.

Not first and second.

Rerun is between the candidate with the highest votes and of the remaining candidates, the won who won most states.
