The governorship elections took place in only 29 states as there were no elections in Edo, Ondo, Ekiti, Bayelsa, Kogi, Anambra and Osun because the tenures of their governors are yet to elapse. The elections are being contested by 1,158 governorship candidates across the country. Results are still being announced, however, some states are still inconclusive while some governors won their re-election bid. Here are some official winners announced by INEC.
