Nigeria Decides 2019: Live Updates, Results and Situation Report of Governorship Elections

For the second time in two weeks, Nigerians will return to the poll, this time to choose those who will govern them at the state level.

The governorship and State Assembly elections hold today, March 9, 2019.

The governorship election will not hold in seven states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The affected states, Anambra, Bayelsa, Edo, Ekiti, Kogi, Ondo and Osun, will not be participating because their governorship elections held at different times.

This is due to court judgments that nullified the elections of their Governors sometime in the past.

However, the State Houses of Assembly elections will be conducted in all the 36 states.
