Following the postponement of the Nigerian elections, polling stations had to stay open longer to compensate for the delays.
A handful of the stations opened on Sunday to make up for the delays to allow more Nigerians to vote.
Voters had queued late into the night on Saturday in a few areas of Africa’s most populous nation where polling stations had opened late or ballot machines malfunctioned.
Nearly 73 million eligible voters cast their ballots from a pool of more than 70 presidential candidates in an election which was postponed the previous Saturday, just hours before it was due to begin, due to logistics.
In what is expected to be a tight presidential race, the two contenders are incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari and businessman Atiku Abubakar.
Buhari, 76, a former military ruler who is seeking a second elected term on an anti-corruption platform faces Atiku, 72, a former vice president who has promised to expand the role of the private sector in Africa’s largest economy.
