Muhammadu Buhari, 76, triumphed with some 15.2 million votes over his nearest rival Atiku Abubakar, who trailed by nearly four million votes.was on Wednesday re-elected Nigeria’s president, after a delayed poll that angered voters and raised political temperatures, leading to claims of rigging and collusion.
Addressing supporters and party leaders at his All Progressives Congress campaign headquarters, he called his win “another victory for Nigerian democracy.” But there were none of the spontaneous street parties that marked his victory four years ago, when he became Nigeria’s first opposition candidate to beat an incumbent president.
There was no immediate official concession from Abubakar, whose party had earlier called on INEC to halt the count, citing irregularities. But INEC postponed them for one week just hours before polls were due to open, citing logistical difficulties in delivering ballot boxes and other election materials.
