尼日利亚当选总统布哈里说,尼日利亚“拥抱民主”,告别了一党制。

布哈里是星期三选举委员会宣布他赢得星期六总统选举几个小时后在阿布贾说这番话的。他比对手乔纳森总统多得200多万票。

布哈里称乔纳森是“值得尊敬的对手”,表示他向这位即将离任的总统伸出“友谊之手”。

乔纳森领导的人民民主党自1999年以来一直统治尼日利亚。

全国进步国大党的布哈里将于5月29号宣誓就职。

尼日利亚选举委员会主席杰加星期三早些时候宣布布哈里以1540万票对乔纳森的1290万票正式赢得选举。

Nigerian President-elect Muhammadu Buhari says his country has "embraced democracy" and put its one-party state behind it.

Mr. Buhari spoke Wednesday in Abuja, just hours after the electoral commission declared him the official winner of Saturday's presidential election, defeating incumbent Goodluck Jonathan by more than 2 million votes.

Mr. Buhari called Mr. Jonathan "a worthy opponent" and said he extends the "hand of fellowship" to the outgoing president.

President Jonathan's People's Democratic Party has ruled Nigeria since 1999.

Mr. Buhari, of the All Progressives Congress, is to be inaugurated May 29.

Nigeria's Electoral Commission chairman Attahiru Jega announced earlier Wednesday that Mr. Buhari had officially won the election, getting 15.4 million votes to Mr. Jonathan's 12.9 million.
