Nigeria’s Election Result Protests Intensify

NIGERIA – Thousands of Nigerian opposition supporters protested Monday against the country’s presidential election results, as calls for a revote intensified.

At least five political parties are challenging last month’s vote, alleging that delays in uploading results from the country’s 177,000 polling stations to the electoral body’s portal could have allowed vote tampering.

They also allege there was voter intimidation and cases where people were barred from voting at all.

Some observers have also criticized the conduct of the presidential election, including the United States.
