place. so we're going to hurt and i'm not going to party i don't like any party so. for me. when i'm this is you know under my right to. have my peace because you got. to my family. for more on this let's bring in deeds every correspondent. hi flourish good to see you first how much all of these regional elections a six had by the presidential vote. well it is believed that whoever wins the presidential vote the presidential election or whatever pazzini is the presidential election has a higher chance of the regional level but then it's just that's just the general

belief here but then if you remember the presidential elections had pockets of violence in different parts of the country and many people are saying that's going to affect the number of people actually votes. and french i know you've been talking to people in the streets there but what are people saying about what turnout is likely going to be. well a lot of people that i spoke to many of the people i spoke to said they were not going to come out and vote and i think if you just try to few of the polls of people here is to make sure of different emotions it's very very difficult to capture what everybody is feeling right now some people are very excited and happy they're going to vote because they voted for president and he won well some are saying they don't think their vote is going to count so it's really difficult to see at this point to whether our north the voter turnout you know it's going any

impressive but you remember that the presidential election the voter turnout for that was the lowest in history here ok so if so we know now that. has launched his challenge against victory. is there any chance he'll succeed is there any chance he will succeed is difficult for me to see if he actually has a chance in other for him to succeed it will he would have to prove that according to the electoral law he would have to prove that there were actually electoral irregularities and many legal experts are saying that that is that's not really difficult part the difficult part is proving how those irregularities affected the outcome of the elections than experts are saying if it's on. something that is going to be daunting what you could to do right but does he have concrete evidence flourish. oh at this point he would be he would

have to come out and see if he has any concrete evidence but just speaking to people around every video screen are out of. fourteen stations where people were voting on several thousands of people but is that every day it's enough for them to see that the results of the election do not stand who have to wait and see all right flourished in lagos amid surging terrorism and violence by armed groups in west africa and the sahara region around two thousand troops from more than thirty african and western countries have been taking part in a military exercise in. the x. aside exercise me i should say court flintlock is a u.s. led bit aimed at boosting the capacity of african army is in the region especially the g five saheli group which compromises fassel chad mali mauritania
