Monday 30th March 2015
18:46 (6:46 PM)
Although Social Media has been inundated with unofficial results for over 24hours in what may be amusingly termed "Nigeria's Twitter Voter Count", INEC-- the body with constitutional responsibility to declare results, only commenced the declaration of official results today. In total results declared so far:
Incumbent, President Johnathan leads in terms of absolute numbers while Challenger, General Muhammed Buhari leads in number of States won. A total nine States has been declared so far.
INEC is currently on recess while awaiting results from more States. Declaration of results will re-commence at 20:00 i.e. 8:00PM Nigerian time.
Both parties will be looking to attain the at least 25% in two thirds of the thirty six states which is a requirement for winning the elections.
