they got over 369000 votes to the pdp, so the 115000 votes. now mind you, me, this is are, this is essentially the party of the incumbent. that's the party of mama do bahati . getting close to 370000 votes to the pdp of a car, which was a 115000 rows. the next thing after that would be the state of florida. and enquire, state the abc showed up like in getting some 2 153000 votes to that be 856004 nearly 837000 votes. labor, again, really underscore being there from the populace movement that we have heard of coming into these elections and getting just over 31000 votes. but therein, as we move to the 4th state, which is the state of law, was his way. you find that the voice of the pdp might have really been around the metropolis as it were, more than it's been nationwide fervor there, the pcp got some 571000 votes, and the pdp got 71. 757-5000 votes. right day there is willie bar party and the party of the that will be showed up. and then that's when he got 508 p 2000 votes. now the thing about winning lay was that no political party as ever o

and those are, namely the pdp, which is the peoples democratic party, as well as the labor party. and in terms of labor, the call was made by lee by chairperson missed the buddha, who said that that the elections can neither be declared free or fair or transparent in nature. this was a press conference that he had, that he had called having called the press conference yesterday in which we were also endeavoring to get into. and it was laid out postponed following some security threats. and this was a press conference that was made of stuff the pdp made its own press conference calling for the cancellation of these results, claiming for the same thing that we cannot get over. the manipulation that has been going on with regards to these results. but re, both of these parties hed individual press conference is calling for such. but this was the 1st time they had a joint press conference and babs, in a sense, admitting to their own limitation, saying that perhaps their voice is better combined than it is separate. now mind you, me the pdp the abc rather has a 0 problems with regards

now the 2 main parties are apc on pdp off on the 1st time i. and this is what makes this particular let shows very unique. we have a 3rd force as someone is really trying to shake off the system to point where even if he doesn't win, you know, he has really changed the game for politics in age area because we must twice for him, both online and offline, and the other 2 candidates, of course they still have the out support as it be. see, strong code is in the southwest, which of course includes legal state b. toby's strong port is in the southeast, which is where i currently am on pdp is for actually cool. sean gord isn't north as well, so we just have to wait and see who is announced as we know these on what the plan is florida. when are the results expected? we have no direct information or no direct answers. typically, results usually come out of the on monday, but i know you said that it would come out in record time. they've not given any specific date or time. are the election results would be out there saying it would be out in record tim

so the is coded on a pdp one. so deck and outside boston had donated and given this you know mini computer that the term at the time it was intentionally not a computer because computers at the time were room sized machines cost a fortune and they were trying to actually market this to business as something useful for payroll, for accounting, for routine operations. it was selling for $120,000 at the time, which be a little over 1.1 million today. so not a cheap piece of equipment. so there's this loose kind of quasi pre hacker culture that's formed around a model railroad, some of and railroading of course, is about zeroes and ones switches about routing electricity about doing some of the things that then influence it. but this this group and it is all men some of them are students it others are just in area kind of working at mit, working harvard and just discover this piece of equipment and make a deal with the fact team member who's in charge of it that says if we write you a compiler, you'll let us do other

both political parties, that is labor, as well as the pdp, the peoples democratic party have both now simultaneously and in one joined press conference called for the cancellation of this election. this follows calls that have been made by both parties individually. since yesterday we saw the walking out of the a boucher coalition center by boat political parties, labor as well as the peoples democratic party, claiming that they cannot, they cannot, i see the fairness or the freeness of this elections, particularly the fed transparency. now they have been protests that we have seen and heard of from, from where we are a lego city in school. ready parts of the city as well as in a keisha, which is the more affluent part of the city. and that is where we went to, to look at the, at some of the election materials that have been said to be destroyed, which was next to the apple of the state, which is the king of the state in that, in that part of the world. and that's where you really get to see how the other half lives as it were. but we, we understand that not only have have a election

they say that that they are worried that the margin of victory, even if it be a pdp or i leave a party victory, that those margins continue to be narrow. while the margin of victory for the incumbency of the apc continues to be wired and why then that suggest to them that there is some money violation when it comes to how these results have been said out . now that is only some of the issues. yes, the other issue, of course, is that which comes from the american government as it were. we've seen members of the national democratic institute as well as the international republican, is the truth, that both of the american political parties which have come to be represented here in the nigerian elections, alongside the politicians from either the house of representatives or the senate. but the interesting part is that we speak this invisible hand of the american government here and its interest in africa's most populous election. and one only one does to which extend the american influence can really expand and get involved in this election. we are left with more questions than answers as

pdp is running with attic. who are backer? a former vice president. he selling himself as the man with the most experienced, but he too is subject to allegations of grass. he's proposing a lean. gov means an a private sector driven economy that would focus on boosting small businesses. he also wants to strengthen national unity by devolving power. a london we'll decide what tangible did reminds me of what one man could yet provide nigeria with a political upsets polls put for my god. no, peter will be up among the front runners. a 1st for his labor party, obese, promising spending cost investments in agriculture reforms to restart trust in the police and 0 tolerance for corruption. he denies media allegations of secrets business dealings. his tapped into must have support from young people who say they are tired of the status school. oh oh oh. oh. whoever wins nigeria most contested election will take on a challenging job with my gerry as worsening economic and security problems at the top of the list, one of the most pressing challenges is the countr

so i do has historically been a 2 party thing, got a pc and the pdp or progressive combat congress are backing. i shouted. and having that kind of party machine behind me really can make the difference in an election like this will be keeping a very close eye on on her for i specifically i'm sure a dad and nigeria ranks extremely low in gender equality index writings. now women massively under represented when it comes to politics and nigeria, can you explain why that is? why it has been such a problem for so long? i think a little challenge is actually responsible for bass. when you look at the current electra 2nd 20 it governorship seats helpful graphs and you have more than phone rates candidates vying for these on house of this. you just have 25 women. which one vein on the main, one of the dominant proxies seek it to tell you the terms of for this i just vine because of the lack of structure. it seems that quite responsible for these. i think one of the very important is the role money plays in politics and niger and the fact that women are ready. i'm not generalized economically,

ah, the main opposition pdp is running with attic. who are backer? a former vice president. he's selling himself as the man with the most experienced . but he too is subject to allegations of grafts. he's proposing a lean. gov means an a private sector driven economy that would focus on boosting small businesses. he also wants to strengthen national unity by devolving power. a london park with gold pan, reminded alone what one man could yet provide nigeria with a political upset pulse put for my god, nor peter. i will be up among the front runners, a 1st for his labor party, obese, promising spending cost investments and agriculture reforms to restart trust in the police and 0 tolerance for corruption. he denies media allegations of secrets business dealings. his tapped into must've support from young people who say they are tired of the status school. oh yes. whoever wins nigeria most contested election would take on a challenging job with my jury as wasn't being economic and security problems at the top of the list. on saturday evening, the jury at the berlin film festival

the apc, the ruling. apc which is bryson carries foxy on behalf of be well on. maxine oguio, we have pdp me the largest office shown poxy on the ceiling. attic walker, who was a former vice president and has run for office up to 5 times, but as lost those fright times. and we have a the, the 3rd mid candidates, peter will be from the labor party. now what's interesting about the selection is that we've never actually had a 3rd 4th, you know, galvanized so much support from people. it's typically a 2 man race, but this time around we have seen a change. and these thought was people will be top mean being asked this them on making a statement in the major asked will it will i ran out that was flowers took laura in the nombre in nigeria, they're reporting on these key election happening to day flourish. thank you. so much or german chancellor, olaf shalt says he wants to deepen economic and political ties with india. now he made these remarks of the press conference with the indian prime minister, the ranger lordy seltz's 2 day trip to the country highlights the growling. if it by western p

. >> let me ask about the role of peter, who is of the pdp but is now of the labour party.ems to be collecting social media support. he seems to be getting a lot of support from young people. how do you see his role and indeed that of kwakwaso, who is a presidential candidate? is there a chance that one of them given that people are looking for change of party, is there a chance that one of them could actually become president of the country and start with a clean slate or are they going to serve the vote and fragment the votes of the other candidates. >> for the two, from their root sides, they will try their own best and from the looks of things, they have a whole lot of people looking, they are in darkness at the top level. the situation is somehow difficult if you look at the -- that we have. the life of boboka, they are guys that we can call super weights. they have weights when it comes to politics. it is momentous, but the truth remains these guys are so strong from both sides looking at their running mates as well. it's -- he is a strong guy and that tells you looki

for example, where the pdp comes to its gov know is fights in the presidential candidates and he supports in another pot to cliff were for co, semantic bazzi. so there will be some level of fights on in that's in reverse it. i'm somewhat puzzled the countries ah minova now thanks very much for your time. ah. with so many struggling to get 5 people are forced to put up for sale, whatever they have and that includes their votes. dw is a mca acoya, traveled to a community in northeast and nigeria where people are offering their votes to the highest bidder. much. he also met one man who's trying to persuade them not to the says, no man in animal estate in a generous north east where volts buying and selling is an open secret. political agents bring money, which trickles through a system of fixes and organizers to individual voters. william clark is the community leader who says, vote buying and selling happens a lot. so he give this people money. on the last we day, agent. once you have agreed to give them vote, the agent will last signal, maybe it may be you or what did or not i did process

expressing the displeasure we are seeing this across board, even i'm not even within the labor party and the pdp people are seeing that they are not satisfied, not only redaway to results, we are now, but also with the results themselves, in fact, the liberal party ass called for a ward press conference late as to the are, we are expecting that there would denounce the the results. so i'm as the i, as, as the day on forwards we are, we are seeing or we're expecting a more reactions from different groups. now the question is asking though, when can we expect to know who's going to be nigeria next president? oh, that's the big question. and i'm, it looks as if we're going to have to be very patient. it typically it doesn't take as long as it has taken. i mean, not the by now we would typically have or, you know, begin to get a sense of who the president would be but so far. 9 we've not even had half of the state, half of the 3060 and their federal copied our territory, our buddha, and now's the results. so again, things are moving very slowly. we don't expect to hear the results any time soon. we

and if that criteria is not met, that means we are in for our re run of these elections, the pdp and labor as well as many others. while a party stays a walk out yesterday out of a boucher saying that they feel that the results emanating out of the correlation center really do not have any fan and do not have any legitimacy when it comes to how the state is read. but that is not the paul that we're finding out of apc, which of course is the leading in terms of number of things. one. and they're saying that the cow and the result announcements must continue as is because they feel that any of their grieve parties knows exactly where to go. should they have any grievances. and that was one of called is the nigeria is what of justice? well, it is a big national turn out for nigeria. elections and ot is on the ground covering the voting process for the 220000000 people affected with oscar to have your company full this house program from moscow to our next door in our here on the program, a rushes diplomat. so to get law for off, he set to visit the indian capital for a meeting of g, 20

some politicians, including ones from the main opposition pdp party walked out in the protest, saying that they don't support this process to rejected. they will not be part of it. and they feel that they hated the electrical permission has been compromised. it's a long process because according to the officials here, they say that they read out the results bit by bit. and then when they've read them out, the party agents get a chance to stand up and ask questions and raise queries. and some of them i've been saying you've read out a set of results and they don't match my tally what is going on. and then they have to be some kind of explanation as to how these results came about. also, some states of the announcing their own results of their own winners in their individual states. but those results are not official because they've not been verified by the literal commission. and that's been causing some confusion. and how are you, of course, with the population of 213000000 people. this was always going to be a huge democratic undertaken, wasn't it? what's the mood like that among vot

really strong movement emerge around a candidate, peter, be in the election now a b came out of the pdp. so that's important to kind of note, but i think that more important the actual candidates in this election is the political engagement that we're seeing. right. and this can't be seen in isolation regarding right the way back to occupy nigeria, right? the way through to i think the last time i was here we were talking about. right. and so you've got a young population. i do have an incredibly young population who are engaging with politics and making demand the politicians that they hadn't previously done. i think regardless of what the outcome of the election and given that party machines are very powerful, it's not, it's not clear what the outcome is going to be. there is a really strong sentiment that nothing is going to go back to know more often it's election. and if that energy is mobilized into the organization, youth organizations mobilize into holding whoever. when's the election to account? then what we're probably going to see. if the max pass and fails to do the job and

the pdp, which of course was the biggest political party before 2015 when the, when, when the government, when the party was actually in power from 1900 to 2015 when they defeated it and took up a can for, for the past, yes, now you have the youngest of them who we speak will be, who is of course presidential right and make the last election in train in 2019, but also broke away from the parties that met him running make to the presidential candidate in the last election to join a party that is on the which basically doesn't court on interstate government or even members of parliament to be one of the 3 contenders in this election for example. now, all of them have in one way or the other. i've been in the political circle in nigeria, at least for the, for 8 years now. the wires form of vice president that you probably has been there as vice president, and this is the 6 attempt at the presidency. now, all of these people, like i said, have been in politics before, and the hopes and aspirations of not just look to see a young person running for office. although that our agent can do this,

out to stem when he was incidentally appointed a running made to the presidential candidate of the pdp in 1009 to 9. he was vice president for aid. good. yes, a former retired custom officer is running his 6th race to be our president of nigeria. apart from him, next we go to the southeast with the country where peter will be, is it will be as also from the reports we get. it will be has also cast his ballot in that location. he, toby, was a member of up got a political party that brought him to power, and then he put the party. last in the last election, he joined the peoples democratic party to be running, mate incidentally to articulate what can we say presidential candidate of the party back. now when he realized that these have been one, why would appear to be because of the amount or number of big weeks and that political party is change side to the liberal party. and this message is basically resonating with a young voter population here in nigeria. now apart from these 3 guys have been in politics, we have another thought force that force because he could determine his role cou

after the party arises, then the germans, it is true, forbid it the national democratic party of the pdp at the same time banned the communist party of the sixties. that is, the ban has not been lifted to date. well, absolutely right. yes, i just want to say that this is all business literally. here is just the past, yes, literally several decades, so, of course, there are roots there . they are in germany, of course, if they are in other countries, which is why there is nothing surprising in this at all, as regards nineties. and then there are the councils of europe and other things. well, it seems to me that here these nineties were going to joke with the europeans, because after the collapse of the soviet union they experienced a colossal euphoria. and this is euphoria, when the soviet union collapsed the main enemy. you can say yes, and moreover, representatives of that side, which still remained on the wreckage. yes, the soviet union, russia suddenly asked for european, so to speak, structures. and this, of course, was for the europeans. here they played to the fullest with russia s

reasons, the last few hours is that several pos she is including a parties from their main opposition. pdp walked out of this collation center in protest, saying that they are not happy with the processing. there will not be part of it and their lives at the head of the electoral commission is compromised, but that didn't stop the few results that have been trickling him from being analysed. are we still a long way away before the final result is going to be in as many more states are still live to go. it's a long process because what happens is that the officials announced a few results from a certain area. then the party agent stand up and ask questions and queries some things. and then some will say my, my figures don't touch with what you've announced what's going on. and then the officials have now tell the people in the room how they got to this result. and also what's happening throughout the day that some states have been announcing their results independently. and this has caused some confusion because these results or they've been analysed, have not yet been verified by the elect

called the labor party that doesn't have the structure of the main political fight as a p c and the pdp. but his message seemed to resonate while with some of the young population in nigeria who feel that they have left out of the scheme of things in nigeria. so basically these are the 3 main content, but again, it was a full force. robbie was a former governor kind of state nice of the state, atheist, it was ministry principal for years and he was full. so i sent it to briefly before the military truncated but democratic dispensation. he is running and he's from the state with a 2nd largest number of votes in this country. so a lot of people think if he doesn't win, at least he can cut all the political values of the 2 main political parties in which could possibly result in the run up because of the powers he has all the fellowship. yes and little a lot of people think that this vote will go into arnold and they like to election commission and they said they are really prepared in case the run up happens, which will be probably in the next 2 or 3 weeks before the governorship collecti

as far as for the apc the ruling party, they got 201494 votes. closest behind them was the pdp, 89554 votes. i should stress. this is in no way a surprise because that state is an apc stronghold. it has an apc governor. many of the people we've been speaking with since that result was announced, have said that that was to be expected and it might suggest that voting will be going along party lines, but we really have to wait to see if that will pan out. what's interesting here is that you've had a lot of delays throughout the day when it comes to announcements by the electoral commission. it's been a lot of confusion as to whether preliminary results would actually even be announced. so there was some surprise when that result was announced, and then many people thought ok, maybe they will start announcing other state results. they ended with just one state. they say they're going to reconvene and start announcing morris. alt to morrow morning. i believe they said around 10 am or 11 am nigeria time, one more thing to add when it comes to the delays that have been experienced today by
