BREAKING: Ruling party candidate Bola Tinubu was declared the winner of Nigeria's presidential election, officials say. The two leading opposition candidates are demanding a revote in Africa's most populous nation.
Supporters of Presidential candidate Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress celebrate ahead of the final declaration of election results, at his campaign headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria Wednesday, March 1, 2023. Tensions rose in Nigeria Tuesday as the main opposition parties demanded a revote for the country's presidential election, where the latest results show an early lead for the ruling party.
The overnight announcement was likely to lead to a court challenge by his main opponents Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi. Abubakar also finished second in the last vote in 2019, then appealed those results before his lawsuit ultimately was dismissed.
