There were reports of violence, voter intimidation, and attacks on polling stations, with gangs allegedly stealing ballot papers at polling stations in Lagos. The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) won 16 governorships, ahead of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) at 10, and the Labour Party and New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP) at one seat each. Three more states (Kogi, Imo, and Bayelsa) are scheduled to hold their gubernatorial elections in mid-November.
