Opposition parties in Nigeria have called for the presidential election to be scrapped, describing it as a sham.

The People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Labor said the results were rigged and wanted new elections.

Official figures released so far show ruling party candidate Bola Tinub leading with around 40% of the vote.

The Electoral Commission says they should take their grievances to court.

She drives the publication of results. Opposition parties have criticized the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and its handling of the electronic voting system.

Labor leader Julius Abre said: “I am calling for this fake election to be annulled and for INEC to hold new elections within the timeframe set by the Electoral Act.” Stated.

The smaller African Congress for Democracy (ADC) also supports Labor and her PDP call, the main opposition

Mr. Tinub’s campaign team blamed the opposition.
“Unless we are ready to accept the shock of defeat, we have no moral right to enjoy the fruits of victory.”
PDP’s Atiku Abubakar and Labor’s Peter Obi were the main opposition presidential candidates in Saturday’s elections.
With official results coming out of his 20 of his 36 states in Nigeria, Abu Bakar came in second place with around 30% of the vote. Obi is in third place with almost 24%. A group of angry protesters denounced the Electoral Commission outside the National Settlement Center in the capital Abuja.
One man told the BBC, “Everything that happens there is a lie, a lie, a lie…they cook the result together.”
Another group campaigned against it, including calling on the Electoral Commission to “do their job” and “calling Nigerians to stand up for their democracy.”
On Monday, Abubakar and his Obi delegation left the Abuja venue where the results were announced.

They said the new electronic voting system lacked transparency.
This was the first national election to use electronic devices to authenticate voters.
The Electoral Commission dismissed the opposition’s appeal.
European Union observers said poor planning and communication by electoral bodies undermines confidence in the process.
The ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) and his PDP have ruled Nigeria since the military regime ended in 1999. Obi, who ran for president for the first time, vowed to challenge the two-party system.
He has the support of many young people, who make up his third of registered voters. There are 15 other candidates.
Obi also won the Abuja. On Monday, he was declared the winner of Lagos, the largest city believed to be Tinub’s home. Candidates must win the most votes nationwide and at least a quarter of the votes cast in 25 of the 36 states and Abuja.
If those thresholds are not met, there will be a second runoff vote for her between the top two candidates.
