By Max Bearak Max Bearak Africa bureau chief based in Nairobi Email Bio Follow February 26 at 6:05 PM NAIROBI — Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari has won a second term, according to final results published by the election commission late Tuesday, in a vote that was marred by large-scale violence and delays. Before the results were announced, the spokesman for the main opposition claimed to have evidence the vote was rigged.
Independent monitoring groups have said more than 250 were killed in election related violence, including around 50 on and since election day. Nigerian police said on Tuesday that 128 people had been arrested for suspected election-related offenses, including ballot box-snatching, vote-trading and impersonation.
