However, this is not the first time the outcome of a presidential election is being contested.

In Nigeria, government and political offices are filled by means of elections, which are challenged by petitions if the validity of the election or the return of a candidate is in dispute.

Election petitions are governed by a specific electoral law, making them unique.

Section 288 of the Constitution and the Electoral Act 2022 regulate elections in Nigeria, while election petitions are also governed by the 1999 Constitution, and the Electoral Act of 2022.

Election petition tribunals are specialised courts that handle election cases, rather than regular courts.

Below is a compiled list of the outcomes of all presidential elections since Nigeria’s return to democracy in 1999.
