Nigeria announced some early results from national elections on Sunday, though a victor in the race to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari is not expected till later today.
The vote in the nation went ahead mostly peacefully, despite some ransacked polling stations and late starts at many others.
Votes in presidential and parliamentary elections are collated in each of Nigeria’s 36 states before the count is transmitted to the electoral commission’s central tallying centre in the capital Abuja.
