The truth about elections, held to a single standard.

Nigeria 2023 Presidential Election

INEC declared Bola Tinubu elected with 36.6% in Nigeria's most competitive presidential race since the return to civilian rule. The administration did not deliver the transparency it had promised: late openings, violence and the failure to publish many presidential result forms promptly damaged trust. A national parallel tabulation adds an important boundary to the case. Yiaga Africa found every candidate's national share inside its statistical range and said altered collation identified in Rivers and Imo did not change the national outcome. That supports the declared national ordering while leaving the documented exclusion, local manipulation and process failures fully in view. The petitions of the runner-up and the third-placed candidate, which alleged fraud, the failure to transmit results electronically and Tinubu's ineligibility, were dismissed by the Presidential Election Petition Court on 6 September 2023 and, in a final judgment, by the Supreme Court on 26 October 2023.
