INEC’s results showed that Tinubu won the Feb. 25 election with 37% of the vote against Atiku’s 29%, while Labour Party’sPeter Obi polled 25%. Atiku and Obi have rejected the results,however, and plan to launch a legal challenge. “All the provisions of the current electoral law have been completely contravened.

A PDP official handed the petition to an INEC official. In the petition, which was seen by Reuters, PDP rejected the outcome of the election and asked INEC to explain why it proceeded to declare results after the party had raised concerns about alleged irregularities during the collation of the results.

Election observers from the European Union, the Commonwealth and other bodies reported a range of problems, among them failures in systems designed to prevent vote manipulation. The observers criticised INEC for poor planning and voting delays, but they did not allege fraud.
