Results From Nigeria's Election Give ex-military Ruler Muhammadu Buhari a Narrow lead

Partial results from Nigeria's election give ex-military ruler Muhammadu Buhari a narrow lead over the incumbent, President Goodluck Jonathan. With more than half of Nigeria's 36 states declared, Gen Buhari's All Progressives Congress (APC) is ahead by half a million votes. A victory for Gen Buhari would make President Jonathan the first incumbent to lose an election in Nigeria. More than 800 people were killed in protests after Mr Jonathan beat Gen Buhari in the previous election.
