Kwankwaso, the New Nigerian Peoples Party candidate, won in just one State, Kano State.
The election was free, fair, and credible, which is an enormous development for INEC when comparing the 2023 elections with previous elections.
The huge success was achieved largely by the use of the BVAS machine, then the determination of the Buhari administration of reducing voters' induction with money.
