As predicted by most regional experts, the winner of the presidential election is the incumbent All Progressives' Congress (APC) party candidate Bola Tinubu. Despite losing in the capital state of Abuja and his home state of Lagos, the former governor of Lagos had a consistent showing in all thirty-six Nigerian states, earning him the executive seat of Africa’s largest democracy. The final results show Tinubu winning 36.61% of the overall vote, roughly 8.8 million votes.
