Presidential election results: INEC announces 20 states, Tinubu leads Atiku, Obi

After Saturday’s general election, the All Progressives Congress, APC’s presidential candidate Bola Tinubu is in the lead.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), as of Monday night, had announced collated results in 20 states.

With 5,862,453 votes, Tinubu is ahead of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, who has received 4,288,434 votes.
Rabiu Kwankwaso, of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), received 1,315,549. Peter Obi, of the Labour Party (LP), is currently in third place with 2,834,932.

It’s interesting to note that Obi defeated Tinubu in Lagos, making him the only leading candidate to lose his home state. President Muhammadu Buhari’s home state of Katsina was won by Atiku.
