Counting of election votes in Nigeria after a military coup
Vote counting in the closest competition in the Nigerian presidential elections began after the end of military rule in the country in 1999.
According to reports, the participation in these elections seems to have been high, with many young voters going to the polling stations for the first time before sunrise.
Some parties have warned about irregularities, which could cast doubt on the election results.
These elections are the largest democratic exercise in Africa, with 87 million eligible voters.
Politics in Nigeria has been dominated by the two parties, the Progressive Congress and the People’s Democratic Party, since the revival of multi-party democracy 24 years ago.
