The Peoples Democratic Party has said it would challenge the results of the election in some local government areas in Lagos State.

Speaking to journalists at the end of the collation exercise in Lagos, Monday, Wahab Owokoniran, said that a lot of things went wrong during the election. “Most of the card readers were not functioning. And the manual (accreditation) that was done much much later has really disenfranchised a lot of people,” Mr. Owokoniran said.

The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari, polled 792,460 votes to defeat President Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP who got 632,327 votes.

Out of the 20 local government areas in the state, the PDP won only five – Surulere, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, Oshodi-Isolo, Amuwo Odofin, and Ojo. The announcement of the results in Lagos began at around midnight on Sunday and was concluded by 8 p.m. on Monday. There was a protest outside the INEC state office on Monday as youth from Badagry came to register their displeasure with the outcome of the election in their area.
