Nigeria, March 15 -- Of the 29 governorship elections held last Saturday across Nigeria, seven are yet to be concluded. Six of the seven were formally declared inconclusive elections. The last, Rivers, governed by Nigeria's largest opposition party, PDP, has simply been halted with the electoral commission, INEC, unsure of how to proceed.

Perhaps coincidentally, of the six states where elections were declared inconclusive, the PDP was leading in five (Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Kano, and Sokoto). Nigeria's ruling party, APC, was in the lead in Plateau.

The seeming disadvantage of the PDP in the inconclusive elections has caused leaders of the party to raise eyebrows, accusing the electoral commission of bias.
