6:26Now PlayingBola Tinubu from Nigeria's ruling party has won the country's presidential election, the electoral authority said in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Nigerians stayed up late into the night to hear the announcement. Mr Tinubu is now expected to take over from outgoing president Muhammadu Buhari.
The election was held over the weekend and the results have been disputed by the two main opposition candidates.
Tinubu is from the All Progressives Congress — the party of outgoing President Muhammadu Buhari — and won with 8.8 million votes, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Meanwhile, the INEC said Peoples Democratic Party candidate Atiku Abubakar came second with 6.9 million votes. Labour Party candidate Peter Obi, who scored a major upset in Tinubu's home state of Lagos, came third with 6.1 million votes.
