“Who Can Be Declared Winner in Governorship Election In
Nigeria”

In a governorship election, the candidate with the highest
number of casted votes will be declared the winner by the Returning
Officer of Independent Electoral Commission(INEC). Such a candidate
must also not have less than one-quarter of the votes cast in at
leaset two-third of each of the Local Government Area.

My authorities are section 69 of the Electoral Act, 2010 and
section 179 of the Constitution of the Republic of Nigeria,
1999.
