After long delays at some polling stations — including from gunfire — votes are now being counted in Nigeria in what is believed to be the tightest presidential election in decades.
Election officials also cited technical problems and the absence of voter registers as causes of the delays.
The election took place in the middle of an economic crisis and violence by armed groups in some parts of Africa's biggest democracy.

Al Jazeera's Mohammed Jamjoom reports from Abuja, Nigeria.
