No fewer than 993 candidates contested the gubernatorial election in 28 states and state houses of assembly elections across the country, with results already trickling in.
Parties like the PDP, APC, SDP, Accord Party, Labour Party, ADC, NNPP, and others fielded candidates for the election with the hope of grabbing key positions.

However, the APC and PDP, who have claimed to have the structure and spread, worked to prevent such a scenario.
